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.

As an Engineering Project Specialist (EPS), you are the vital link connecting cross-functional teams, ensuring timely delivery of essential development devices. Collaborating closely with Engineering Program Management, engineers, operations, vendors and contract manufacturers, you skillfully orchestrate numerous moving parts to bring products to life. Your role is essential for maintaining project momentum, facilitating seamless communication, and guaranteeing that all stakeholders are aligned to meet critical deadlines.
