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, 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. Enterprise Platform (EP) consists of Search Ads 360 (SA360) and Display and Video 360 (DV360) enterprise advertising platforms. DV360 is the preferred demand-side platforms (DSP) of major global media ad agencies to unify their display and video advertising data, media, and measurement, to achieve unparalleled buying efficiencies, advertiser ROI and audience targeting precision across all digital channels. DV360 plays a crucial role in Google's strategy to accelerate the shift of traditional TV ad budgets to digital platforms, capitalizing on the growing trend of media consolidation by offering a comprehensive solution for unified programmatic buying with unique inventory access (DV360 is the only DSP where agencies can buy, YouTube), campaign optimization suite and cross-channel measurement. As a Program Manager, you will partner closely with the engineering and product management teams, as well as relevant cross-functional stakeholder teams, to enable the business to deliver its top priorities. Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We’re made up of multiple teams, building Google’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable Google to engage with customers at scale.
