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.

This role will have both strategic and operational components, and will require flexing across both types of workstreams including rhythm of the business, organizational health, managing and communicating through change. You will lead and contribute to the growth, development, and overall health of the organization.

In this role, you will partner with executive leadership in Google Cloud, their direct reports, and cross-functional partners to set and communicate strategy and decision-making with the broader organization. You will also work closely with key cross-functional partners to align strategies and business decisions. You will build partnerships across functions and will inspire trust by demonstrating excellent judgment and integrity, while also being willing to be direct and help execute when needed. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
