Program Manager, ESC Demand Planning

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.

In this role, you will partner across Technical Infrastructure and Cloud Supply Chain and Operations (CSCO) to source, plan, make, and deliver compute, network, storage, and data center capacity for all product areas across Google. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. Our team procures and delivers the cooling and electrical gear that powers our data centers, ultimately ensuring the delivery of Google's products and services to billions of users around the world.
