About The Position

The Operations Program Manager will be the organizational force behind Google’s Economic & Community Development team, working closely with the Head of ECD and cross-functional teams to keep key initiatives moving. You’ll bring structure to complex programs, coordinate across regional and functional teams, and make sure the right people have the right information at the right time. From building project plans and preparing leadership materials to running meetings and improving processes, you’ll help turn priorities into action and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. A big part of the role will be keeping everyone moving in the same direction day to day — you make sense of the nonsensical.
