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 Google Photos, our mission is to be a home for all your photos and videos, organized and brought to life, so that you save and share what matters. Our products allow users to store, manage, share, and relive their most cherished memories.

Advancements in capture and connectivity are empowering users globally to take more video than ever before, enabling us to preserve our memories and connect with others and with the advent of AI tools and capabilities, the traditionally time-intensive task of working with videos has never been more accessible.
