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.

Geo’s mission is to assist users as they navigate and explore the world, wherever they are. Making that mission a reality requires a well oiled, effective operations team. This includes everything from bootstrapping data collection, moderating incoming user edits, imagery hardware development, ad hoc data evaluation and training machine learning models. The goal of Geo Data Operations (GDO) is to contribute to Geo’s mission by delivering geo data through the most innovative and cutting-edge operations. Learn more at go/gdo.
