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.

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.

In this role, you will play an instrumental role in ensuring the smooth documentation, reporting, integration, tracking, governance and management of all procurement processes and projects related to data center equipment. You will be responsible for all aspects of managing the procurement workflows, including the purchase order, contract management, cost management and sourcing operations workflows, as well as the creation of reports, metrics, dashboards and any mechanisms to manage and deliver efficiencies from a process and system standpoint. You will work with all upstream and downstream stakeholders and undertake Request for Quotation (RFQ) packages, agreements and purchase orders are complete, correct and on time.
