Water Stewardship Lead, Global Sustainability

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 Water Stewardship Lead, you will lead Google’s water stewardship strategy and steward its operationalization across the company. You will be a key strategic leader, partnering cross-functionally to drive and publish new research, establish our global advocacy and engagement positions, and steward the optimization of our end-to-end program processes for scale. You will support third-party standard development efforts, and will act as a primary representative of our water program in internal and external forums.

The Global Sustainability team enables Google to build a more sustainable future for everyone by driving strategy and solutions. We drive the development and implementation of Google’s global sustainability strategy to further empower action, ensure alignment and prioritization, identify leadership opportunities, and mitigate risks. We drive sustainability strategy and programs on carbon, circular economy, water, product integration, reporting, and employee engagement, while serving as a sustainability leadership advocate internally and externally.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
