**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.

The Product Manufacturing and Build Management (PMBM) team is part of the Global Manufacturing Operations team within Cloud Supply Chain Operations (CSCO). We are responsible for optimizing and ensuring success of the manufacturing production for servers, machine learning, and networking equipment for Google’s data centers.

In this role, you will work with our agreement manufacturers to ensure that they are clear to build to enable on-time delivery for products. You will be optimizing the manufacturing plan, meeting customer schedules, exception management and root cause analysis. You will work with Supply Planning, New Product Introduction (NPI), Logistics and Manufacturing Engineering to oversee material execution for multiple Agreement Manufacturers that support Google's growing infrastructure.

This role requires on-site presence at the contractor manufacturer in Guadalajara three days per week.

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**:

- Drive material readiness for mass production builds through collaboration with agreement manufacturers, planning teams, and commodity managers.
- Ensure smooth product transitions. Be the primary material liaison with Planning, NPI and agreement manufacturer for product bring up and launch. Identify supply chain risks and mitigation steps to ensure material readiness from product goes into mass production and through end of life.
- Communicate status, risks, and influence change. Drive initiatives and process improvements to help the team to become more scalable.
- Develop processes to enable on-time delivery and mitigation across multiple Agreement Manufacturers in supply and labor constrained environments.
- Manage projects from inception through completion. Ensure requirements are complete and scope is well defined with multiple cross-functional stakeholders.
