About the job

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 Program Manager on the NetOps Supply Chain & Commercial Operations (NOSCO) team, you will be responsible for supporting on time and accurate capacity enhancements across Google Global Infrastructure's (GGI) network of data centers, and edge networking deployments. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to facilitate developing end to end strategies that connect our demand, supply, inventory, data center labor and deployment planning. You will work with a truly cross-functional team of internal (demand planning, commodity management, supply operations, data center labor and deployment teams) and external (manufacturers and suppliers) stakeholders to deliver optimal solutions to meet customer demand, and will lead prioritization and allocation decisions as needed. You will leverage strategic and end to end thought leadership, and have strong planning backgrounds while being an expert communicator and leader.

• Manage supply planning and fulfillment with GGI’s contract manufacturers. Collaborate with demand planning, commodity management, and supply operations to ensure cost-effective, on-time material delivery for capacity turn-ups.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with OEMs/tier 2 vendors and drive incremental improvements in supplier performance by establishing and executing a strong operational excellence framework.
• Contribute to planning and delivery of supply chain transformation initiatives and serve as a subject matter expert for supply planning related user journeys, requirements, design and implementation schedules.
• Review and validate demand forecasts, and manage purchasing within allocated budgets. Ensure on-time delivery while minimizing performance and quality issues.
• Monitor supply planning KPIs, identify root causes for gaps, and implement corrective solutions. Deliver effective data reporting to internal and external stakeholders.
