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 be the leader of how Google optimizes daily logistics
processes while incorporating current industry standards and best practices. You
will be responsible for driving continuous process improvement recommendations, managing the implementation of changes within operations, standardizing user
documentation, creating processes that motivate action, and interacting with all
partner teams. You will initiate and oversee operational improvement efforts for
North America, South America (NASA) Google Cloud Logistics, analyze operational
impacts to inform improvements, work with key stakeholders, motivate innovation
within the operational teams, and create presentations or documents for the
leadership team highlighting operational performance and improvements. This work
will interact with both data center operations and warehouse operations as well.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users
