Program Manager III, Business and Server Operations, Data Centers

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 a Business Operations Program Manager for the Global Server Operations team, you will help influence the goal, strategy, and multi-year transformation of the end-to-end capabilities powering Google’s global fleet of data centers. Driven by explosive growth and the rapidly evolving demands of AI infrastructure, our environment is extremely fast-paced, highly demanding, and scaling at unprecedented rates.

Sit within the Server Operations Strategy and Operations team, you will lead complex initiatives to unlock efficiency across our global footprint. We are looking for a resilient, well-rounded strategic and operational who can thrive in ambiguity, critically evaluate high-stakes strategic issues, back them up with robust data analysis, and build the cross-functional alignment needed to execute rapidly. You will pair this strategic skillset with the adaptability, discipline, and the operational attention to detail required to manage multiple workstreams, communicate progress, delegate effectively, and unblock immediate operational bottlenecks, all while you are designing for the long-term.
