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 are a primary architect of Google’s physical retail commercial strategy. You own the goal for how the Google ecosystem Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit is sold and experienced in our flagship and partner environments. This is a high‑impact role requiring a blend of commercial acumen, operational discipline, and visionary thinking. You will lead the end‑to‑end strategy for business initiatives, defining the "north star" for how we drive conversion and premium customer experiences.

You don’t just work cross‑functionally; you lead the cross‑functional narrative, aligning Directors and Vice Presidents (VPs) across Product, Marketing, and Finance to ensure our retail investments drive brand and sustainable business growth.

• Define and lead the multi‑year business activation roadmap. Identify market opportunities and white spaces to launch high‑impact programs that redefine retail excellence.
• Design incentive structures and commercial levers that drive attach rate and conversion goals. Own the Return on Investment (ROI) of your programs and be responsible for business‑critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
• Act as the lead for New Product Introductions (NPI). Own the global retail "Concept‑to‑Consumer" framework, ensuring consistent and scalable launches.
• Influence product roadmaps by providing the retail customer perspective to engineering and product teams. Ensure hardware is built with retail "promote‑through" in mind.
• Identify systemic inefficiencies in the retail life‑cycle and build scalable, automated solutions to improve the speed‑to‑market for all retail initiatives.
