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.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Responsibilities

• Work independently across functions and levels to define and successfully deliver complex software engineering programs and projects for the YouTube Shopping domain.
• Reduce process friction and build efficiencies.
• Partner with Engineering and Product teams and encourage them to learn and adopt project delivery best practices.
• Manage dependencies and escalations. Drive visibility on progress and risks to leadership.
• Build strong internal and cross-product area partnerships, leveraging your credibility to unblock progress. Bring alignment across stakeholders that’s motivated by shared success.
