Technical Program Manager III, Data Operations, Geo

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.

As a Technical Program Manager for the GDO Developer team, you will serve as a technical and strategic leader driving the Geo’s multi-ecosystem priorities (e.g. Destinations) and Makers Data Quality programs. You will act as a critical bridge between product requirements and geospatial data execution. You will lead high-complexity pillars involving AI, telemetry, and spatial analysis to establish "self-healing" pipelines from developer logs and scale spatial remediation initiatives. You’ll maintain strong alignment with executive leads, Product Managers, and Engineering counterparts to deliver on team goals.

The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.

The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
