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 a Program Manager for the Compliance, Safety and Risk Management (CSRM) team, your primary responsibility will be an individual contributor managing all Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) programs for the LPP Data center in Finland. This includes EHS management system implementation, environmental compliance programs and global oversight of subject matter expert topics. You will also provide program leadership and oversight to new EHS initiatives.

Google Data Centers (GDC) makes up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures on the planet. As a member of the CSRM team, you will be responsible for supporting EHS programs including management system implementation, environmental compliance programs and global oversight. You will play a critical part in ensuring all EHS issues are identified and addressed by working collaboratively with a cross-functional team of GDC departments and contractors to protect Google’s interests.

The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.

• Build trusted relationships with operational leadership and key stakeholders, communicating EHS performance, managing expectations, and providing data to drive effective decision-making.
