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 Senior Program Manager, you will focus on the critical intersection between Google Cloud Platform’s engineering and sales functions. You will be responsible for identifying, designing, and landing cross-functional solutions that improve alignment, operational excellence, and outcomes between sales and engineering.
We will measure the success of the Program Manager by the effectiveness (e.g., Business and customer satisfaction) and efficiency (e.g., stakeholder toil) of the solutions (mechanisms and programs) that they design and land in partnership with Go-to-Market (GTM) and Engineering leaders.
This role requires a unique blend of strategic problem-solving, process engineering/operations, and executive-level influence.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
