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.

The Chrome Developer Relations team is focused on supporting the long-term health of the web platform by working with developers to create the guidance and tools, samples, and applications that they need to be successful. We help make it easy for web developers to build great experiences quickly on the web. We work with cross-functional teams to convey feedback from developers to identify and prioritize changes to the platform and help developers build tools that they will use every day.

As a Program Manager, you will focus on helping us streamline processes and launches for Chrome Developer Relations programs and initiatives.
