Job Description

Google welcomes people with disabilities.

Due to the current health crisis related to COVID-19 and the escalating visa/travel restrictions in place, we're currently unable to extend offers to anyone who cannot work from Japan due to lockdown visa/travel restrictions, or other restrictive measures until further notice.

We're keeping the situation under review and would adjust our position should the restrictive measures be removed later on.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Management Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10 years of experience managing software development projects and working with third-party partners.
• Ability to speak and write in English and Japanese fluently.

• Experience in the consumer/banking payments space.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, be diplomatic, and influence stakeholders, partners, and international teams.
• Ability to manage ambiguity, overcome issues, and scale effectively across a distributed organization.
• Ability to clearly articulate business needs or opportunities and recognize clear solutions.
• Excellent analytical and reasoning skills to structure partnerships models and manage business issues.

About the job

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.
Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

Our Google Pay Consumer team is responsible for building locally relevant user experiences to make Google Pay (GPay) successful globally. We work closely with payments consumer, merchant, and platform teams to build features and identify opportunities that are unique to the local markets while helping leverage this work for all markets. As a Technical Program Manager, you will grow the development as GPay continues to expand to other markets. You will have the overall accountability to deliver engaging experiences to our growing global user base.

Google is and always will be an engineering company. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on millions, if not billions, of users. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on massive scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, Social to Local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with engineering, product management, user experience, and other cross-functional partners to define requirements, scope, schedule, resourcing, milestones, and tasks.
• Manage relationships with key internal stakeholders and third-party party vendors.
