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 will 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.

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day logistics operations management of multiple data center locations.
• Create, lead, and support cross-functional company initiatives/projects. Deliver alignment and prioritization of initiatives in a fluid environment with many interdependencies.
• Manage third-party logistics partners with associates on their teams dedicated to our account. Manage and monitor metrics for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), vendor performance scorecards, and development of business cases to support logistics process changes or improvements.
• Manage quarterly budgets, invoice control, and capital improvement projects within your locations. Manage relationships with multiple internal customers at data centers.
• Recognize improvement opportunities to the cost or quality of services to be provided. Turn these thoughts into a documented business case, present the business case to your peers and management for approval, and provide ongoing project management.
