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. Youre equally comfortable explaining your teams analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

As a Technical Program Manager supporting Google Public Sector (GPS) Technology, you will drive the end-to-end delivery of complex, high-assurance programs across sovereign cloud and AI workstreams. You will partner directly with Tech Leads to steer architectural trade-offs, streamline multi-party dependencies, and establish AI-driven operational governance in cleared, mission-critical environments. This role requires technical judgment, executive communication skills, and an active or acquirable Top Secret security clearance to turn ambiguous technical initiatives into reliable, large-scale reality.

Google Public Sector brings the magic of Google to the mission of government and education with solutions purpose-built for enterprises. We focus on helping United States public sector institutions accelerate their digital transformations, and we continue to make significant investments and grow our team to meet the complex needs of local, state and federal government and educational institutions.

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