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.
In this role, you will lead all aspects of supply chain readiness in New Product Introduction (NPI) hardware products for our global data centers. You will work with cross-functional teams starting with product inception to volume ramps to bring products into the global data centers efficiently. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and executing material plans to enable prototype builds and production ramp plans to be deployed to our global data centers, including networking, infrastructure, and server and storage. You will work closely with Engineering, Supply Chain Operations, Supply and Demand Planning, Contract Manufacturing, and Supplier partners to launch new products and to implement processes and systems that directly scale new product deployments.
