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 Supply and Material Planning Program Manager, you will be responsible for material supply planning, procurement and inventory management of our critical data center products and drive optimal planning decisions to enable customers meeting their objectives while balancing inventory. You will work closely with NPI, Demand Planning, Purchasing, Engineering, Fulfillment and agreement Manufacturing to develop and oversee the execution of the material plans through the product life cycle. You will use your problem-solving skills to establish and drive metrics, drive process and system improvements to accomplish efficiency and scalability goals and directly support our rapidly growing infrastructure at our global data centers.
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.
