Senior Technical Program Manager, AI/ML, Workspace – Google – Waterloo, ON

Google is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager, AI/ML, Workspace to join their team with the option to work from Waterloo, ON, New York, NY, or Sunnyvale, CA. This is a senior-level, high-impact role at one of the world’s most recognized technology companies, focused on shaping the future of the Workspace Ecosystem through strategic program leadership and AI/ML innovation.

About the Role: Senior Technical Program Manager, AI/ML, Workspace

As a Senior TPM within Google’s Workspace Ecosystem, you will own a portfolio of complex, often ambiguous programs from strategic inception through to successful delivery. This means setting direction alongside senior leadership, defining goals and success metrics, and orchestrating large-scale efforts that span multiple organizational boundaries. You’ll be instrumental in expanding the Workspace platform’s capabilities, market reach, and long-term impact — all while ensuring alignment across Product, Development, UX, DevRel, Marketing, and Sales teams.

This position demands a high degree of autonomy and technical judgment. You’ll contribute directly to technical discussions, guide development teams toward robust and scalable solutions, and serve as a key advocate for how Google builds and scales its ecosystem. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in GenAI Agents, model launches, and managing cross-functional programs at scale — and is equally comfortable presenting strategic recommendations to executives as they are diving into technical trade-offs with engineers.
