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.

In this role, you will have an opportunity to be a strategic orchestrator within Infrastructure Supply Chain and Manufacturing Operations (ISM), focusing on the critical area of spend management.

You will play a key role in understanding, optimizing, and tracking expenditures across our global operations. This involves delving into the complex logic of spend drivers, designing, creating, and maintaining robust data pipelines and interactive dashboards to ensure accurate and insightful reporting of spend management data, leveraging data to inform strategic financial decisions, and managing key supplier agreements to optimize payment terms and cash flow based on financial conditions. You will drive strategic transformation projects that balance creative problem-solving with pragmatic, scalable solution delivery, directly contributing to ISM's mission of building the most cost-effective infrastructure.

You will require a blend of financial acumen, operational understanding of the supply chain, and exceptional cross-functional program management skills. You will advocate continuous improvement and operational efficiencies, ensuring that ISM's financial strategy for spend aligns with our long-term goals and enables massive growth.
