Cloud AI Senior Technical Program Manager I

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 Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will guide the delivery of Generative AI products for enterprise customers. You will partner with product managers, engineers, and leadership to define roadmaps, prioritize features, dive deeper into the technical and product specifications, and drive complex technical projects to successful release.

In this role, you will navigate a fast-paced environment where your technical depth, product understanding, and program management expertise directly influence Google’s AI strategy. If you are passionate about AI, skilled at managing complex programs, and ready to go deep technically on the product specifications, we want to hear from you. Help us empower developers to build the next generation of intelligent applications.
