managing cross-functional or cross-team projects. 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 Program
Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects
from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan
requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and
communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the
company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and
hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them
up to date on progress and deadlines. The Google Play Regulatory
team is at the front-line of ensuring a safe and compliant
ecosystem for users and developers. We navigate the complex
landscape of global regulations, working cross-functionally with
engineering, legal, policy, GAPP, trust and safety operations, and
product teams to implement and maintain compliance solutions. Our
mission is to identify and mitigate regulatory risks, fostering
trust and transparency within the Google Play ecosystem. We are a
dynamic and collaborative team, passionate about building scalable
solutions that uphold user safety and regulatory standards in a
rapidly evolving digital environment. Google Play offers music,
movies, books, apps and games for devices, powered by the cloud. It
syncs across devices and on the web. As part of the Android and
Mobile team, Googlers working on Google Play do everything from
engineering our backend systems, to shaping product strategy, to
forming great content partnerships. They make it possible for
people to do things like buy an ebook or song on their Android
phone, then have it instantly available on their laptop. The Google
Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and
partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is
$189,000-$274,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are
determined by role, level, and location. Within the range,
individual pay is determined by work location and additional

Responsibilities Develop and drive ambiguous, large-scale programs
to address global regulatory challenges, establishing clear
frameworks and processes that deliver measurable business impact
and long-term operational stability. Lead the end-to-end execution
of Google Play’s regulatory roadmap, ensuring all product
initiatives meet global laws and internal policies on time and
within budget, minimizing friction for developers. Orchestrate
engagement between Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across Play
verticals (e.g., Apps, Games) and core platform teams to map
technical dependencies and assess the downstream impact of privacy
and compliance requirements. Maintain a comprehensive roadmap of
emerging privacy initiatives, translating complex legal mandates
into actionable software engineering (SWE) requirements and clear
project milestones.
