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.

Office of Cybersecurity Resilience's (OCR) mission is to enable Alphabet and external partners to anticipate, mitigate, and recover from cyber threats through data-driven risk management, secure-by-default technology, and integrated response.

Our Program Management Office (PMO) team partners with OCR and advances this mission via deep integration, domain expertise, craft of program management, versatility, and a high-performing team.

Our work makes Google, our users, and the internet safer. The OCR team aims to keep Google user data safe by protecting Googlers and the compute infrastructure they use to access it, while maintaining a balance between security and usability. This is achieved by motivating and building reliable, trustworthy, and usable computing infrastructure that makes it easy for every Googler to securely work and build products. Specifically, this role will work on the enterprise Data Loss Prevention program.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
