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 Retail Design and Development team sits within the Google Hardware Design Studio as the group that oversees the design, build, and deployment of physical retail spaces. The mission is to create inspiring and sustainable spaces and experiences for all users.

The Google Hardware Design Studio oversees the design of all Google's hardware products including the Pixel phones, Nest products, Pixelbook laptops, earbuds, accessories, and more.

Responsibilities:

  • Oversee multi-faceted cross-functional projects and bodies of work including design schedule management (from project start-up to design development to construction/fabrication and installation), budget management, project communications, workflow, and resource management.
  • Ensure timelines and budgets for all projects are adhered to.
  • Identify opportunities for design, research, or construction, self-direct work, communicate impact, and influence cross-functional partners.
  • Provide project planning and process management, leverage process standards, best practices, and tools while improving on them when needed, develop and drive innovative thinking and operational excellence that optimizes creativity.
  • Act as a liaison and advocate between all project participants, fostering teamwork and building consensus among design team, partner teams, and vendors.
