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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us.

As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

Responsibilities:

Serve as a thought partner and trusted advisor to the Extended Workforce Solutions organization's executive leadership, helping to land, rethink, and shape the future of Extended Workforce Solutions.
Design solutions that enable our partners/Product Areas to succeed in their business objectives by optimizing operational costs, identify efficiencies, and help to proactively mitigate risk and compliance across Alphabet.
