Technical Program Manager, Display Ads Infrastructure
Canada, CA - Information Services, Internet
Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.
As a Technical Program Manager for the Display Ads Infrastructure team, you will be primarily responsible for managing projects in ads infrastructure. You will be involved in communicating project priorities, issues and other status, both to our leadership team and to the development teams. You will help coordinate and manage schedules across multiple teams, both locally and across other Google offices. Your position is important in helping identify blocking issues early and knowing the right set of people to involve to resolve those issues. You may work on successful execution of key software projects in these areas by facilitating a team of engineers using Agile practices like bi-weekly sprints and daily stand-ups.

- Develop tools and processes to measure and improve engineering productivity across the ads organization.
