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 Public Affairs and Civic Outreach team drives corporate value by expediting technical infrastructure rollout, safeguarding Google’s social license globally, and leveraging civic alliances to deliver grassroots solutions.

In this role, you will advocate regional advancement objectives by providing evidence-based analysis and structured programming grounded in local assessments across current and targeted site locations. You will coordinate with internal peers to generate tangible social outcomes, interface with civic influencers and civil servants, and interact with civic networks, industry bodies, and charitable foundations. You will also embed civic investment standards across an expanding footprint, serving as a dedicated advisor on facility site delivery and public engagement strategies.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

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