Technical Program Manager, Applied Technical Expertise Enablement, GCP

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.

The GCP/SRE + TI Education Team (GET) is at the forefront of enabling the next generation of technical expertise within Google Cloud. Our remit extends across all internal Google Cloud developers and adjacent teams, ensuring they have the technical proficiency and innovative mindset to build the world's most reliable and performant cloud infrastructure and products.

GET is leading the charge in enablement across technical domains. This role sits within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) organization, bridging the gap between deep systems infrastructure, Cloud product development, and the future of AI-driven engineering. We focus on breaking down complex problems into manageable areas, such as the andragogical and heutagogical approaches to teaching AI, amplifying adoption through scalable mechanisms, and embedding AI tools directly into existing learning experiences.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
