About The Position

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,

operations in the North Central Area of the United States and beyond. In this
role, you will proactively identify, organize, and lead program activities and
stakeholders to deliver impactful business, operational, and technical
improvements. You will be responsible for scoping, phasing, and leading
ambiguous cross-functional and cross-organizational challenges, ensuring
alignment of senior stakeholders across various departments. Additionally, you
will also provide additional support and project management oversight to new and
critical EHS initiatives to continue to create and iterate our EHS programs. You
will manage a team of EHS Program Managers to ensure a consistent and uniform
approach to EHS program implementation across the region.
