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.

As a Program Manager for Labor Engagement within Data Center Services (DCS), you

will play a pivotal role in managing external stakeholder relationships with

labor unions, coordinating workforce requirements, and leading the strategic

rollout of our leadership training programs. You will act as a primary bridge

between Google’s infrastructure projects and our external labor partners,

ensuring operational continuity and proactive labor risk mitigation.

In this role, you will lead the end-to-end management, development, and global

expansion of our skilled trades leadership program (gLeader), manage program

budgets, and establish key reporting frameworks for executive leadership. You

will also collaborate closely with general contractors and internal

cross-functional teams to align labor forecasting data with project timelines.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google

customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and

Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our

customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users

worldwide.

We're the driving team behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering

the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing

power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable

developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping

the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the

development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking,

Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.
