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.

As our products and services scale the globe, the Global Infrastructure and Energy (GIE) team works behind the scenes as a team within Google responsible for delivering the infrastructure capacity needed to support Google's rapidly growing product portfolio. The Supply Strategy and Portfolio Planning (SSP) team sits within GIE, and it manages a complex portfolio of infrastructure projects, ensuring that Google's services have the resources they need to operate seamlessly and reliably. SSP performs location strategy and portfolio management to determine where, why, and how much infrastructure assets Google needs to seamlessly scale into the future. We provide the programs, strategies, and toolsets for our regional discussion and execution teams to consistently make high-quality decisions at scale, faster, and with less risk to meet the needs of Google’s business.

• Identify, flag, and resolve impediments to project delivery, leveraging data and intuition to ensure projects remain on-time, on-schedule, and at stated capacity.
• Identify and cultivate relationships with stakeholders, collaborating to strategize, plan, and prioritize objectives, and provide critical data and insights to executive and key partner audiences.
• Escalate system-level headwinds, offer operational efficiency recommendations, and manage program governance structures, including mitigation strategies, postmortems, and escalations.
