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.

Our mission is to grow and promote Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) to enable everyone to thrive in their work and community by delivering an exciting and engaging EHS program that is recognized for its integrity, partnership, and care. Our organization is committed to protecting the physical, emotional, and mental health of our teams through proactive and engaging safety programs and services.

This commitment extends to proactive and engaging safety programs and services, including Environmental Regulatory Compliance and Technical Due Diligence, Occupational Safety Regulatory Compliance, Occupational Health Regulatory Compliance, Contractor Management and EHS Performance Management, Incident Investigations, Design for Safety, Product Safety, New Product Introductions, Consensus Standards, and Assurance.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
