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.

Supply Chain Operations plays a critical role in sustaining our Technical Infrastructure fleet. As a Program Manager for Spares and Analytics, you will be responsible for spares planning, execution, and driving process improvements in our supply chain. You will work closely with Material Planning, NPI, Supply Planning, Purchasing, Quality, Engineering, Hardware Operation, and Data Center Software teams to develop and oversee the execution of the spares strategies that directly support Google's rapidly growing hardware infrastructure.

In this role, you will contribute supply chain spares strategies to meet our service level agreements for data center uptime while optimizing inventory levels to minimize stockouts and excess and obsolescence (E&O). You'll implement best practices to ensure on time delivery through the full product lifecycle. You will collaborate internally with the NPI team to enable seamless, efficient product transitions. You will establish and drive metrics, all in the pursuit of operational excellence.
