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.

Your key function will be to drive the efficient delivery of Google’s Data Center Portfolio by the organization of data, implementation of scalable processes, and the use of professional tools. In this role, you will lead, collaborate, discuss and communicate to identify areas for improvement, development of plans, processes, and execute changes. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks, and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You will also be supporting decision making analysis, using objective data to support recommendations that are in line with Google’s objectives. In addition, you will explain your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Google Data Center (GDC) Partner teams and engineering groups to support the delivery and management of Google's Capital Expenditure program. 
  
• Lead initiatives for continuous improvement of project controls for schedules along with alignment on the cost driven needs that create impact.
  
• Support Data Center Project Managers and work directly with project teams at site or metro level to support project control implementation including setup, training, execution, and assurance.
  
• Maintain project control performance specifications and earned value alignment along with implementation of the same to our projects.
