Sub-Region Project Controls Manager, Program Management
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 Sub-Region Project Controls Manager (PCM), you will lead a team that provides direct, integrated project control support for the delivery of multiple data center projects within their assigned sub-region. This is a critical partnership role, where you ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the agreed processes and standards.
In this role, you will be responsible for the overall integrated oversight and leadership of all elements of project controls, including cost, commercial requirements, schedule, risk and change management, and localized estimating integration. You are empowered to make decisions alongside your Data Center Services (DCS) partners to uphold the mission of Go Fast, Safely Together, proactively seeking ways to accelerate delivery without compromising core principles and fiduciary duties.
