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.

As the Change Governance Program Manager, you will own, drive, and improve upon
the global program by which Google’s Data Center fleet submits, evaluates,
reviews, and makes decisions. You will engage in the process daily to ensure its
running smoothly, support high priority decisions, illuminate gaps, and drive
process improvements. Leveraging your skills, you will help facilitate complex
global decisions by breaking them down into smaller pieces. You will partner and
engage with key stakeholders early and often to ensure solid participation.
Working closely with partner teams, you will integrate our change governance
process with their change control processes. Additionally, you will work to
ensure the program evolves with time, adapts to changes in business direction,
and scales with future growth.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its
business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage
Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more
sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google
Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical
