Technical Program Manager, Debug
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.
The Debug Project (www.debug.com) is looking to ramp up our mosquito production systems, release, and monitoring including the support of field and partner sites.
As a Technical Program Manager, you will be part of an enthusiastic team of mosquito biologists, software engineers, and automation experts working to develop better ways to reduce the impact of mosquito-borne diseases. You will oversee a group of regional projects and manage the operational processes and workflow necessary for the implementation of bespoke mosquito rearing and release efforts such as trials, studies and methods including mosquito replacement and suppression. You will be responsible for collaborating with the wider technical and operational team to leverage existing best practices and develop new processes to achieve program goals and drive success management of mosquito production and release activities.
