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 an NPI Operations Manager, you will manage all aspects of New Product Introduction (NPI) and Product Lifecycle management for our data centers. You will work with cross-functional teams starting with product inception to volume ramp to bring innovative products into global data centers efficiently. You will use your domain expertise in material readiness, supplier and contract manufacturer management, procurement, manufacturing, supply resiliency and are well versed in Operations and Engineering that impact supply chain strategies and execution.

In this role, you are responsible for developing and growing the Operations Program Management team to scale to meet the growing business need and strategically address the complexities facing supply chain today. Product types include infrastructure, server and storage. You will work closely with Engineering, Supply Chain Operations, Supply and Demand Planning, Contract Manufacturing, Logistics, and Supplier partners to enable and launch new products as well as to implement processes and systems that directly scale new product deployments.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
