Program Manager III, Supply Chain, Google Distributed Cloud

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.

Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) is a fully managed software and hardware solution for data centers and edge locations to address regulatory, local data processing, survivability, and low-latency needs. GDC extends Google’s infrastructure and services to customer data centers, edge locations, and hybrid environments.

Our mission is to power Google Distributed Cloud with a supply chain as intelligent, scalable, and resilient as the cloud itself. We connect innovation to execution, building trusted global partnerships, accelerating time-to-market, and enabling the hardware foundation that brings Google’s compute, AI, and edge capabilities closer to every user, everywhere.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
