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 a Senior Program Manager, you are responsible for establishing and leading this new function, which is central to professionalizing our project delivery processes and supporting the Google Data Centers (GDC) North Star: Go Fast, Safely.

You will use your exceptional leadership, the ability to challenge existing norms, and influence executive stakeholders across a global, matrixed organization. You will deliver measurable business impact by translating commercial controls into tangible project velocity and cost reduction.
