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.

People Operations strives to revolutionize human resources the same way that Google has revolutionized search. We are helping to find, grow and keep the remarkable assemblage of talent who are our Googlers. We are the team at Google that delivers extraordinary, hire-to-retire experiences for Googlers in the moments that matter most. We deliver end-to-end global HR processes (with regional nuances where needed) that are personalized and delightful for millions of candidates and 175k+ Googlers. Made up of equal parts HR professionals, former consultants, and analysts, we are the advocates of Google's culture and values, partnering with our business leaders to help them build their organizations and make sure all people's decisions are based on data.

As Google grows, so do the operational complexities, compliance risks, and cultural nuances that are unique to the markets, sites, countries, and regions where Googlers work. To address these complexities, our HR teams offer a structured, location-based approach for delivering HR support.
