Senior NPI Operations Program Manager, Health

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 New Product Operations Program Manager, you will be the primary manufacturing and operations interface for hardware products. You will work with Google’s engineering and product teams during the new product introduction phase to deliver optimal product cost, quality and delivery strategies. You will drive all program activities with the manufacturing partner to ensure on time delivery of development builds and successful product ramp. You will guide operation teams to prepare and execute throughout the lifecycle of the programs. You will often lead special projects that would require planning, data analytics, process design, problem solving and coordination across multiple functions and various levels of leadership.
