The role

As a Technical Program Manager for Multimodal Generation Launches, you will be responsible for release planning and coordination of models, managing launch roadmaps and timelines in partnership with Product Managers, handover of models to cross-functional partners, internal governance documentation and coordinating external-facing content for marketing. This role requires a strong technical background in AI, excellent program management skills, and the ability to navigate the challenges of large-scale research and engineering efforts. You will work closely with research scientists, engineers, product managers, program managers and other cross-functional teams to solve problems around delivering and deploying massive models. Your work will be instrumental in powering future advancements in multimodal generative modelling.

Key responsibilities

• Program Leadership & Strategy: Lead complex and ambiguous programs focusing on execution and delivery. Partner with research and engineering leads to translate strategic goals into well-defined program plans, timelines, and success metrics.
• Large-Scale Execution: Drive the end-to-end execution of large-scale initiatives, including deployment planning & coordination, infrastructure readiness, safety testing, and model evaluation processes.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Act as a key liaison between the Multimodal Generation team and other critical Google DeepMind projects, including teams working on Gemini, AI Platform, Trust & Safety, Marketing & Communications, Legal and more. Ensure seamless integration and alignment.
• Risk & Dependency Management: Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks and dependencies associated with large-scale model deployment and launches.
• Process Improvement & Scalability: Develop and implement efficient processes and systems to manage deployment and launches at scale. Identify opportunities for automation and tooling to improve research and engineering velocity.
• Stakeholder Management: Build strong relationships and provide clear, consistent communication to stakeholders across research, engineering, and leadership.
• Technical Due Diligence: Perform technical due diligence to understand engineering scope, define milestones, and anticipate resource needs for ambitious research projects.
• Team Support: Provide proactive support to the team, and act as a mentor and point of escalation. Support rapid team and project growth and build processes to handle increasing numbers of contributors and project sub areas.
