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.

In this role, you will be the technical lead of the Carbon Removal team, and will help set the criteria for emerging technologies and support each technology via priority research projects. You will also help deliver both near-term atmospheric impact and the long-term technological development for climate change.

The Global Sustainability team enables Google to build a more sustainable future for everyone by driving strategy and solutions.
