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.

Whether it is paying online with Autofill, using tap and pay in stores, or using the Google Pay app, the Payments team at Google is focused on making payments simple, seamless, and secure. In addition to consumer payment technologies, the Payments team also powers the money movement between Google and its consumers and businesses.

Responsibilities

• Lead and own the delivery of multiple complex, cross-functional technical programs critical to Google Pay India's strategic goals, such as consumer app experience, new feature launches, and regulatory compliance.

• Define program scope, Objectives, and Key Results (OKRs), translating ambiguous problems into clear plans, milestones, and deliverables. Drive program execution, proactively identify and mitigate risks, manage dependencies, and ensure timely delivery of high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced environment.

• Exercise technical judgment to understand engineering challenges, contribute to design discussions, evaluate trade-offs, and guide technical decisions.

• Build and maintain relationships with and influence a set of stakeholders, including engineering, product management, UX, legal, compliance, and external partners (e.g., banks, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), Reserve Bank of India (RBI)).

• Navigate and ensure compliance with the unique and evolving regulatory landscape of the Indian payments ecosystem.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience with data-driven decision-making, using metrics and analytics to measure program success and identify risks.

• Experience in applying AI/ML tools and methodologies to enhance program management practices (e.g., automating reporting, risk analysis, process optimization).
