About the job:

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

Google Play offers music, movies, books, apps and games for devices, powered by the cloud. It syncs across devices and on the web. As part of the Android and Mobile team, Googlers working on Google Play do everything from engineering our backend systems, to shaping product strategy, to forming great content partnerships. They make it possible for people to do things like buy an ebook or song on their Android phone, then have it instantly available on their laptop. The Google Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.

Responsibilities:

• Manage a portfolio of program and project roadmaps to drive business priorities, strategic outcomes, and on-time, cost-effective delivery.
• Develop strategy and define ambiguous programs or processes that address significant challenges, measuring success by direct business impact.
• Lead engagement with cross-functional teams and subject matter experts across multiple verticals to identify dependencies and assess the impact of new programs, including regulatory, privacy, and compliance initiatives.
• Represent product and engineering teams in cross-functional forums to uncover critical dependencies and drive alignment on shared Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders across partner organizations to ensure seamless collaboration.
