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.

As a Senior Program Manager on the Clean Energy and Power team within Google Global Networking and Infrastructure, you will be responsible for managing communications and engagement to advance Google’s strategic goals for energy. You will be responsible for driving public and community relations campaigns to convey Google’s positive global and local impact, managing work-streams with internal and external partners, developing talking points and narrative, and creating compelling multimedia content for internal and external audiences. You will also advocate for policies, standards, corporate actions, and societal efforts that are required to decarbonize global energy and economic systems.
