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.
Today, Google Translate is one of the most beloved Google products, helping 1.5 billion people each month across over 200 hundred languages. Large language models are changing the translation space, and have opened the door to help people navigate language barriers in completely new ways. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive model development and evaluation, and build AI-powered features to elevate the Translate experience.
