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.
As an Operations Program Manager, you will be the cornerstone of communication with cross-functional teams in the development of new products. You will lead a team of professionals to ensure products are designed and built to Google’s standards. You will plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle.
You will manage project schedules, identify risks, and clearly communicate them to project stakeholders. You will need to be comfortable explaining your team’s analyses and recommendations to executives along with discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers. You will work in a fast-paced environment, working with teams to solve problems that gate production line operations.
