Program Manager II, Demand Planning, Google Data Center

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 II, you will lead labor demand planning and forecasting initiatives within our global Supply Chain Planning organization. In this role, you will own the end-to-end forecasting rhythm that determines where, when, and how many data center technicians are needed to deploy, support, and maintain Google’s hyperscale infrastructure.

We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably.
