technical program management. Preferred qualifications: Experience
partnering with product, software development, and security

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. As a
Lead Technical Program Manager within Privacy, Safety and Security
(PSS), you will be responsible for managing complex, multi-faceted
projects from conception to launch. You will work closely with
product managers, software engineers, cross-functional partners to
define technical solutions, enhance development velocity while
preserving privacy and security and deliver foundational systems
for customers across Alphabet. In this role, you will proactively
guide a portfolio of projects to build and drive the secure
adoption of platforms. These platforms will enable Alphabet’s
Product Areas, Bets, and acquisitions to build hybrid and
cloud-native systems, creating an engineering experience that
fundamentally improves development velocity. As GCP's capabilities
rapidly grow, Alphabet's engineering teams must adapt to new
industry practices and a highly competitive landscape. Our goal is
to make Alphabet the most sophisticated user of GCP and other
public cloud technologies. This strategic position is key to
delivering these powerful new capabilities to engineering teams
safely and at scale. The US base salary range for this full-time
position is $192,000-$278,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary
ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the
range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional
factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant
education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the
specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring
process. Please note that the compensation details listed in US
role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include
bonus, equity, or benefits. Learn more about benefits at Google .
Responsibilities Define project scope, objectives, and deliverables
in partnership with technical leads and product management. Build
detailed project plans, manage dependencies, track progress against
milestones, and proactively manage risks and mitigation strategies
to ensure timely delivery. Drive alignment with cross-functional
engineering partners, product managers, and other program managers.
Be responsible for managing technical dependencies, resource
planning, and ensuring all teams are aligned on a common plan.
Communicate project status, risks, and strategic updates to
stakeholders at all levels, from individual contributors to
leadership. Facilitate technical discussions, design reviews, and
planning meetings to resolve ambiguity and drive decision making.
Define, implement, and evolve our best practices for program
execution and project delivery. Identify and drive process
improvements that allow the team to scale and adapt in a dynamic,
fast-paced environment.
