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 II, you will lead labor demand planning and forecasting

initiatives within our global Supply Chain Planning organization. In this role,

you will own the end-to-end forecasting rhythm that determines where, when, and

how many data center technicians are needed to deploy, support, and maintain

Google’s hyperscale infrastructure.

business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage

Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more
