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 Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

• Lead program teams across cross-functional organizations, including energy and land acquisitions and development, networking, construction, and supply chain to ensure cohesive delivery against regional goals.
• Design and execute comprehensive communication plans to provide leadership with visibility into portfolio health, critical risks, and necessary escalations.
• Maintain a holistic view of the program life-cycle to identify where delay in one workstream (e.g., land acquisition) will impact downstream delivery (e.g., shell construction).
• Monitor global and regional throughput constraints such as construction capacity or long-lead equipment availability to identify potential delays before they impact the critical path.
• Manage the end-to-end requirements for emerging markets where lead times and regulatory environments lack established precedents.
