Technical Program Manager, SLED, Google Public Sector

About The Position

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. The SLED East team is a high-performing, integrated team within GPS services, focused on delivering comprehensive, security-centric solutions to our State, Local, and Education (SLED) public sector customers in the East. We partner closely with our Go-To-Market teams and work collaboratively with state, local, and education entities to understand their unique challenges. By breaking down silos and leveraging our collective expertise, we activate technology across the complete Google Cloud solution set, empowering these organizations to achieve their mission-critical objectives while maintaining the highest standards of data security, creating long-term value and trust within their communities. Google Public Sector brings the magic of Google to the mission of government and education with solutions purpose-built for enterprises. We focus on helping United States public sector institutions accelerate their digital transformations, and we continue to make significant investments and grow our team to meet the complex needs of local, state and federal government and educational institutions.
