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.


As a Technical Program Manager in the Machine Learning Strategy and Allocation (MLSA) team, you will drive a pivotal function at Alphabet responsible for optimizing the company's critical ML compute resources. This role sits at the intersection of AI strategy, finance, and product management, directly influencing Google's AI future. You will lead strategic, cross-functional programs to enhance ML capacity allocation in a highly dynamic and constrained environment. You will be curious, comfortable making data-informed recommendations, and able to own major programs while also supporting others in their ownership of similar initiatives. Success requires exceptional cross-functional leadership, executive-level communication, and a broad, adaptable technical understanding.
