Global Program Management Lead, Economic Development, Strategic Partnerships Office
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.
In this role, you will drive Google’s economic development strategy for new and existing data centers sites and related AI infrastructure around the world. You will work closely with a network of internal stakeholders as well as strategic vendors to support the growth of Google’s products and services, and to provide the infrastructure that will help expand the company’s global reach.
You will lead business discussions with the key stakeholders. Your knowledge of economic development, compliance, ethics, relationship and coalition building, policy and regulation, and company goals will position you to be an advocate for development and management of the global infrastructure portfolio.
