Program Manager III, Analytics Insights, Geo

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.

The Analytic Insights portfolio is responsible for productizing Google’s geospatial data as analysis-ready assets within the BigQuery ecosystem. As a Program Manager, you will drive the delivery of high-scale data products that integrate core Geo signals with Google Cloud’s analytical and ML stack. You will manage the execution of a roadmap requiring coordination across multiple organizations while navigating the technical and operational complexities of transforming foundational ML models and raw geospatial data into scalable insights, used by data scientists and enterprise customers globally.

The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.
