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.

In this role, you will be responsible for Data Center operational Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) legal compliance, program implementation, conformance and EHS resource management. You will help in driving continuous improvement across Google's EHS operations in the North Central Area of the United States and beyond. You will proactively identify, organize, and lead program activities and stakeholders to deliver impactful business, operational, and technical improvements. You will also be responsible for scoping, phasing, and leading ambiguous cross-functional and cross-organizational issues, ensuring alignment of executive stakeholders across various departments. You will provide additional support and project management oversight to new and critical EHS initiatives to continue to create and iterate our EHS programs. You will also manage a team of EHS Program Managers to ensure a consistent and uniform approach to EHS program implementation across the region.
