Senior Technical Program Manager I, Generative AI, Google Cloud

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.

Google Drive is committed to creating a secure, intelligent, beautiful, and universally accessible means of storing, sharing, organizing, and finding information. With billions of users, deep integration across Google’s first-party products (including Workspace, Search, Chrome, and Gemini), and a growing ecosystem of thousands of third-party integrations, Drive is the market leader in content management. Our immediate top focus is leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) to fundamentally revolutionize how users interact with their content, unlocking unprecedented value from their personal and enterprise knowledge.

The Drive Technical Program Management (TPgM) team plays a critical role in bringing this GenAI-driven goal to life. We stand at the nexus of strategic planning, engineering leadership, and cross-functional orchestration. We help define the technical road map, proactively mitigating risks across highly distributed teams, and ensuring seamless execution from ideation to launch. We are essential strategic partners who do not just track progress, but drive the complex, interdependent programs that realize our product’s strategic goals and cement Drive's position as the future of content intelligence.

AI will change the future of work in profound ways, and our products— Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Vids and Meet are at the forefront. From pre-computed summaries for email threads, summaries for meetings, and videos created from a document using lifelike AI avatars, our AI opportunity is huge. Our mission is to meaningfully connect people so they can create, build, and grow together and as part of the team you can build how productivity tools should work 5-10 years into the future. You will work with model builders (DeepMind), work with exceptional leaders, and have the ability to impact billions of users across the world.
