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 Play is at the heart of the Android ecosystem, providing the apps, games, and digital content that bring Android devices to life. The Play store serves more than 2.5B users across over 190 countries, and is a critical driver of Google’s overall business growth. Googlers working on the Play Go-To-Market (GTM) teams own content strategy and publishing within the Play Store across all regions and verticals (Apps, Games, and more).

As a Program Manager, you will work on a large portfolio of innovative products and programs such as new and engaging mechanics that can enhance user engagement while strengthening proven capabilities to improve scalability and robustness.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with all of the teams involved with Go-To-Market programs and tooling solutions including product marketing, product, engineering, finance, partnerships, operations, and more to create and execute GTM plans, manage launches, and scale the business.
