About the job

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.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

This is a high-impact opportunity for an exceptional Senior Program Manager to support the VP of Safety and Alignment at DeepMind. This role involves close collaboration with a geographically dispersed, virtual team spanning Mountain View, New York, London, and Zurich, all focused on the shared mission of developing, deploying, and researching safe AGI. The role requires a high tolerance for ambiguity inherent in cutting-edge AI research and operates at a fast pace.

As a Senior Program Manager, you will bridge high-level strategy with operational execution to ensure the organization runs efficiently. You will own core day-to-day operations and lead the annual and biannual planning processes while distilling and disseminating critical priorities for the VP of Safety and Alignment. Success requires a highly organized leader capable of managing complex stakeholder relationships and connecting cross-functional teams to drive impactful outcomes.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
