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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will own cost estimates, cost benchmarking, communications, and manage meetings and deliverables for new data centres. You will act as the point of contact between the project teams and the estimating team as well as ensuring adequate support and budget for project consultant estimators. You will work closely with the Engineering, Construction, Procurement, Security, Networking, and Operation teams ensuring all cost data developed and managed meets the requirements specific to each project’s needs. You will report directly to the EMEA Regional Estimating Manager and work with the Strategic Estimating team to ensure alignment within Global Estimating.
