Technical Program Manager, Google TV

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.

Google TV is an intuitive interface with the ability to organize content across providers to help users find what they want to watch. It has redefined the TV experience to ensure the entire experience is built around users’ needs and what they love to watch, so they can discover the most interesting content to consume. These experiences are highly personalized, Google-smart, content and voice-forward and powered by AI/ML - helping users access the world’s media and knowledge.
