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 Program Manager at Google, you will lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

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.

We are looking for a Program Manager to help drive the execution and impact of innovative research projects. You will manage complex, cross-functional initiatives within a fluid and innovative environment. You will work closely with researchers, legal, ethics, PR, and go-to-market (GTM) teams to ensure smooth operations, effective resource allocation, and strategic project outcomes.

Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we’re working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software developers and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs.

Responsibilities

• Manage programs, defining milestones and success criteria, resource allocation and successful on-time delivery.
• Develop tools and processes to improve software engineering productivity.
• Communicate schedules, priorities, and status to all levels in the company.
