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 Product Manufacturing and Build Management (PMBM) team is part of the Global Manufacturing Operations (GMO) team. We're responsible for managing sustaining product manufacturing, product qualifications, and Level 10 material management to support build planning and order attainment at Google's partners.

As a Product Manufacturing Program Manager, you will focus on optimizing sustaining product delivery, operations, and cost for the machines deployed in Google's Data Centers. Through collaboration with our GMO and partner teams, you will program manage the sourcing of products at global contract manufacturers to enable network resiliency, cost optimization, and scale.

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.
