Technical Program Management Lead, Technical Risk Engineering

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 Technical Risk Engineering Program Management Lead, you will be the primary architect transforming how work gets done within your domain taking us from manual processes, to automation- and AI-first planning. Acting as a senior liaison, you will influence the priorities, processes, and strategic direction of privacy and compliance programs at the Director and VP level. This role will take equal parts experienced and highly skilled technical execution, as well as strategic development of processes and relationships that will make meaning out of unstructured planning funnels. Your goal is to use technology, industry frameworks, and original strategic approaches to take on the highly ambiguous problem space of planning and execution.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
