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.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will lead efforts to drive down technology risk across Google Cloud. You will work closely with other security teams, product engineers, and business leaders to ensure a holistic approach to technology risk management.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible.

We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
