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.
Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.
Climate standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), SBTi Net Zero Framework, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), SEC proposed rule on climate-related disclosures, and many others have never been more important. They shape the way companies account for their climate impact and tools to drive decarbonization.
As the Program Manager for Net Zero Standards, you will advise internal stakeholders on developments in this space and work closely to develop company positions. Your work will involve extensive internal cross-functional engagement as well as external engagement with key standards bodies, industry partners, and other stakeholder organizations.
The Global Sustainability team enables Google to build a more sustainable future for everyone by driving strategy and solutions. We drive the development and implementation of Google’s global sustainability strategy to further empower action, ensure alignment and prioritization, identify leadership opportunities, and mitigate risks. We drive sustainability strategy and programs on carbon, circular economy, water, product integration, reporting, and employee engagement, while serving as a sustainability leadership advocate internally and externally.
