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.

In this role, you will be working with cross-functional teams for on-time certification and testing reports delivery. You will consolidate all the carrier certification and test reports requirements with the consideration of the goal timelines to draft certification and testing schedules. You will make sure the testing start and end date is secured. You will maintain regular updates from the external parties and also share the latest updates with the internal teams. You will collaborate with development teams for troubleshooting and assist them to fix the issues efficiently and effectively.
