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.

As a Site Program Manager, you will be the primary on-site operational partner responsible for integrating schedules, managing risks, and driving the daily rhythm of business across our campus verticals. You will establish shared data transparency by replacing fragmented tracking sheets with automated, single-source-of-truth dashboards. This detail-oriented role tracks critical-path dependencies, coordinates complex technical readiness gates, and unblocks daily execution to ensure predictable, end-to-end capacity delivery.
