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.

Your key function will be to drive the efficient delivery of Google’s Data Center Portfolio by organizing data, implementing scalable processes, and using professional tools. In this role, you will lead, collaborate, negotiate, and communicate to identify areas for improvement, develop plans, processes, and execute changes. This includes managing project budgets and schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders.

You will also support decision‑making analysis, using objective data to support recommendations that align with Google’s objectives. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing technical trade‑offs in product development with engineers.

• Collaborate with Google Data Center partner teams and Engineering groups as well as across organizations (GCD, TI Finance, etc.) to support the delivery and management of Google's Capital Expenditure program.
• Lead initiatives for continuous improvement of project controls for both schedule and cost‑driven needs that create impact.
• Support Data Center Project Managers and work directly with project teams at a site or metro level to support project control implementation, including setup, training, execution, and assurance.
• Maintain project control specifications and scopes of work for contractors and vendors that are aligned with internal procedures.
• Implement continuous improvement processes and feedback loops.
• Develop and implement performance measurement systems for projects and the portfolio.
