Leadership Technical Program Manager II, AI, Google Workspace – Google – Waterloo, ON

At the intersection of artificial intelligence and cloud productivity, Google is looking for a Leadership Technical Program Manager II to join the Google Workspace Program Management team. This senior-level role is open to candidates in Waterloo, ON as well as Sunnyvale, CA, New York, NY, and Seattle, WA — giving high-calibre leaders flexibility in where they base themselves while driving impact at a global scale.

This isn’t your average program management role. You’ll be steering generative AI (GenAI) and ecosystem programs across some of the world’s most widely used productivity tools — Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Vids, and Meet — shaping how work gets done for billions of users. If you’re energized by complex, high-stakes technical challenges and want to influence the future of AI-powered productivity, this role puts you squarely at that frontier.

About the Role: Leadership Technical Program Manager II, AI

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Workspace ecosystems and cross-Intelligence, you’ll lead a team of technical program managers while also owning program management for a broader team of software engineers. You’ll be guiding a rich portfolio of infrastructure and AI projects, collaborating closely with product, engineering, and operations partners across multiple organizations. This is a horizontal role — meaning you’ll have visibility and influence across all Workspace products, not just one vertical.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with Google DeepMind model builders and senior leadership, operating at the intersection of technical depth and strategic direction. Whether you’re translating complex engineering trade-offs to executives or driving resource allocation and governance decisions across a large program portfolio, you’ll be expected to lead with both credibility and clarity. The team’s mandate is clear: build the productivity tools the world will rely on 5 to 10 years from now.

Benefits and Salary

Google offers a highly competitive total compensation package for this role. For Canadian applicants, the base salary range is CAD $248,000–$254,000, plus bonus, equity, and benefits. For US-based applicants, the base salary range is USD $240,000–$334,000, also plus bonus and equity. Benefits include health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, a 401(k) with company match (for US employees), generous paid time off including 20 vacation days per year, 28–30 weeks of maternity leave (short-term disability plus baby bonding), 18 weeks of baby bonding leave, and 13 paid holidays annually.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be operating at the most senior levels of program management, with accountability that spans strategy, execution, and organizational leadership. Your day-to-day will involve driving alignment across large engineering and product teams, managing a diverse portfolio of AI and infrastructure projects, and ensuring the organization is moving with both speed and precision.

• Establish credibility as a thought leader both within Google and across the broader industry in your domain of expertise
• Create and maintain a reliable, visible cadence for portfolio reviews, decision-making, prioritization, and resource management — with measurable, organization-wide impact
• Drive measurable program performance gains tied to execution velocity, and establish governance frameworks that align with key performance indicators
• Champion organizational change by initiating and leading multiple teams through pivots required by evolving business trends and strategic priorities
• Lead strategic planning for a complex program portfolio, including direct influence over resourcing decisions, planning cadence, and engagement with planning stakeholders
• Manage a team of technical program managers while also owning program management for a software engineering team
• Guide GenAI and ecosystem programs, collaborating with cross-functional partners across Workspace products and Google DeepMind
