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.

The Devices and Services Supply Chain Planning team ensures Google’s hardware products reach users globally with high availability and optimal operational efficiency. Within this organization, the Accessories End-to-End Planning team oversees the full lifecycle planning, supply-demand balancing, and fulfillment strategy for Google’s first-party and third-party accessories portfolio spanning Made by Google and Made for Google ecosystems (e.g., Pixel Watch bands, cases, chargers, audio, and partner accessories).

In this role, you will lead the critical end-to-end operational planning strategy across a high-velocity, high-SKU product portfolio. You will orchestrate supply chain readiness from New Product Introduction through sustaining and end-of-life, balancing customer demand with factory constraints, component availability, and inventory targets.

This is an exciting and growing space at Google supporting a large range of categories and products across our Made by Google and Made for Google ecosystems (e.g., Pixel Watch bands, cases, chargers, audio, and partner accessories).

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
