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.

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.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google’s product portfolio possible. We’re proud to be our engineers’ engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Establish and utilize best methods (statistical models, processes and software tools) in creating supply forecasts and respective inventory goals for data center networking deployments.
• Present Supply and Demand recommendations to leadership, drive timely decisions, and ensure clear and concise communication to all stakeholders in the supply chain.
• Work with partner teams in procurement, materials management to track supply commits and provide supply response to upstream deployment teams.
• Drive product success by keeping ourselves and others accountable for metrics such as forecast accuracy, inventory, excess and obsolescence (E&O), material spend, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and gross margins.
• Partner closely with customers and partner teams to identify gaps, make improvement recommendations, drive consensus, and facilitate improvements to supply chain processes for data center networking.
