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.

Google Beam is developing advanced software and hardware technology to enable
people who are separated by distance to experience a conversation as if they
were together. You will have the opportunity to have a big impact working
alongside researchers and engineers inventing the future of communication with
Google products.

As the Deployments Program Manager for Google Beam, you will proactively
identify, organize, and lead high-impact program activities and stakeholders.
You are responsible for the end-to-end strategy and execution of complex events
where Beam stations are deployed ranging from first-party tent poles to major
industry conferences. You will scope, phase, and lead ambiguous cross-functional
and cross-organizational challenges, ensuring alignment among executive
stakeholders while delivering significant downstream change management.

Google Beam is a true-to-life new communication technology from Google that
allows people to feel like they're having real face-to-face conversations, no
matter the distance. Powered by realistic state-of-the-art 3D imaging and
spatial audio and integrated with today's leading remote video platforms, Google
Beam enables you to be immersed in the moment, together. As a part of the Google
Beam team, you'll work with incredible teammates across all major functions in a
fast-paced product-oriented environment. Your contributions will have an impact
on the future of communications with Google products. You will apply technology
to solve that really important problem that we often want to be together and we
can't.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Define, lead, and own program charters that address scope, timeline, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), and risks for moderately complex programs.
• Scope, phase, and lead ambiguous cross-functional and cross-organizational challenges, including delivering downstream change management.
• Own and evolve the event intake and kick-off process, triaging requests and defining DRIs for global deployment planning.
• Manage strategic partnerships with creative agencies and hardware partners to execute premium designs and deliver on complex on-site logistics.
• Oversee technical readiness for high-stakes demos, including troubleshooting in partnership with engineering and vendor teams
