Multi-Turn Technical Program Manager - 12 Months FTC - UK

Snapshot

This role is on the Post-Training & Alignment Technical Program Management (TPgM) team. We drive the operational design and execution for the post-training area, enabling teams to make rapid progress on our mission. The core focus of this role is to lead the program management for improving the Gemini model in multi-turn interactions. You will be responsible for orchestrating the delivery of training, evaluations, and infrastructure, ensuring that our models improve efficiently and on schedule for future releases.

 

About Us

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

The Role

This is a high-impact opportunity for an exceptional Technical Program Manager to cover a critical area of Gemini’s development for a 12-month period. You will work with a virtual team of contributors across MTV, NY, London, and Zurich, ensuring they can deliver on time for the next Gemini release. The role requires a high tolerance for ambiguity inherent in cutting-edge AI research, even more than classical software engineering. The role requires a highly organized individual who excels at managing complex stakeholder relationships and connecting teams across Google to drive successful outcomes.

 

Key responsibilities:

• Drive the end-to-end delivery of SFT and RL training data for multi-turn interactions, creating and maintaining the structure (meetings, project plans) needed for on-time delivery.
• Dive deep into technical details, including understanding losses and evaluations, to ensure they accurately measure the problems we are trying to solve.
• Drive organizational efficiency by improving processes, streamlining execution, and implementing tooling improvements where applicable.
• Proactively identify and drill down into blockers, moving quickly to unblock the research and engineering teams.
• Coordinate across diverse groups within Gemini, including Release teams, Safety, and Model Behaviour, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on plans and timelines.
• Manage high-visibility executive reviews, ensuring they are well-prepared, run smoothly, and provide clear visibility into program status.
• Build consensus and influence outcomes across diverse teams and key stakeholders, ensuring strong alignment without relying on direct authority.

 

About You

In order to set you up for success as the Multi-turn TPgM at Google DeepMind,  we look for the following skills and experience: 

Requirements:

• 5+ years of leading large-scale complex programs, preferably across multiple geographies and time zones.
• Possess excellent communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences, including executive leadership.
• Demonstrated success in fast-paced program execution and deliveries.
• Good understanding of large language models, with knowledge of multi-turn conversations or model behaviour and other alignment related topics in machine learning.
• Must be fluent in English and flexible to work cross-timezone.

In addition, the following would be an advantage:

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong understanding of ML/AI principles and the distinctions from traditional software development.
