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 Play Monetization team based in Bengaluru, you will drive critical engineering initiatives that power the global commerce engine of Google Play. You will lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects that enable seamless business generation for developers and a secure, personalized experience for billions of users.
In this role, you will partner closely with Engineering and Product Leads to accelerate execution across the organization, managing portfolio planning and roadmap alignment. You will advocate the adoption of AI-driven tools to optimize efficiency and design governance processes that scale with our evolving business needs. Leveraging your technical expertise, you will navigate cross-functional dependencies and represent the team’s goal to executive audiences, ensuring our business generation platforms remain innovative, trusted, and high-performing.
Google Play offers music, movies, books, apps and games for devices, powered by the cloud. It syncs across devices and on the web. As part of the Android and Mobile team, Googlers working on Google Play do everything from engineering our backend systems, to shaping product strategy, to forming great content partnerships. They make it possible for people to do things like buy an ebook or song on their Android phone, then have it instantly available on their laptop. The Google Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.
Responsibilities
