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.

Fleet Transition Management team's mission is to steer, shape, and land product
transitions into Google fleet at scale, with minimal disruption to capacity
delivery by collaborating across Cloud Supply Chain and Operations (CSCO), PIE
(Platforms Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) and Product Areas (PAs).

In this role, you will help steer and land technology transitions for one of the
largest compute and storage infrastructures in the world, enabling Google to
provide amazing products to its users. Use business and technical judgment to
ensure that Google's services can be deployed in a time, place and configuration
ideal for serving Google's users, managing technology introduction while
optimizing demand and supply availability to be ready where and when it is
needed. You will collaborate across various stakeholder teams to drive the
future state and technologies of our infrastructure. You must demonstrate the
ability to lead projects to successful completion, evaluate supply chain
planning data and understand complex technical topics affecting Google services
and users.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the
Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and
maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google
platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our
engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we
can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have
the best and fastest experience possible.

• Excellent listening and communication skills to represent a range of topics with audiences of different levels.
