The role
From Google's own posting.
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 Google.org Tech for Social Impact (TSI) team works to accelerate sustained social impact through technology. We do this by supporting Google.org and the wider ecosystem of nonprofits and civic entities through data infrastructure, data visualization tools, and products that help them accomplish their missions.
The TSI team leads the work to unify Google.org’s data and operational workflows into a single, trusted source of truth across global giving. By building a harmonious data repository, integrating partner records and operational CRM workflows, and powering AI-enabled business intelligence and workflow automations, we eliminate administrative friction and enable both data-driven human decision-making and safe, reliable AI autonomy across our philanthropic portfolio.
In this role, you will orchestrate the execution and organizational adoption Google.org’s Unified Data Ecosystem. You will partner closely with Data and Software Engineers, apply technical judgment to evaluate engineering scope, sign off on technical designs, and align cross-team dependencies across data repositories.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
