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.

The Global Infrastructure Group (GIG) is responsible for driving optimal fulfillment and transforming Google’s fleet by balancing and shaping demand intent from our Product Areas, deployment decisions for new technology, and supply capability across datacenters, networking, and machines.

In this role, you operate between Demand and Supply to ensure that Google has sufficient infrastructure (e.g., machines, networking, data centers) to meet the needs of our Product Areas. You will focus on supply/demand planning, forecasting, supply demand balancing, allocation management, material management, etc., across all of our infrastructure areas.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google’s product portfolio possible. We’re proud to be our engineers’ engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

Develop supply and demand models that seek to minimize total costs and inventories while maintaining/improving service levels; present recommendations to leadership, drive timely decisions, and ensure clear and concise communication to all stakeholders in the supply chain.

Lead demand and supply planning meetings with cross-functional teams, reviewing supply, demand risks/mitigation options/service-level goals.
