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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

Google Nest is building great product experiences for our users, in pursuit of Google Nest’s mission to create a home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it. A critical function towards delivering on our mission within Nest Software is the Technical Program Management (TPM) function. As the Technical Program Manager, you will envision and deliver a way to simplify the complexity of delivering consumer software, while partnering closely with the various cross-functional teams, transforming the way we plan, measure, and land programs - essentially building the mechanics to make execution effective and efficient.

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices and Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user’s interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices and Services team is making people’s lives better through technology.
