About the role

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. You will coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

The Community Development and Engagement team drives business value by accelerating new technical infrastructure delivery and growth; protecting Google’s license to operate in markets around the world; and leveraging community partnerships and innovative expertise to deliver solutions for community development and engagement. In this role, you will support community development goals by providing programmatic engagement for existing and prospective data center markets, partner with cross‑functional teams to drive measurable social impact, and serve as a subject‑matter expert on data center delivery and community engagement.

The AI and Infrastructure team empowers Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.

Responsibilities

• Engage with key opinion formers, community groups such as municipal leaders, industry partners, economic development organizations, schools, educational institutions, and non‑profits to ensure initiatives are centered around community needs and accelerating business objectives.

• Create communication tools and processes to educate local communities about the role and impact of our data centers, and develop locally focused, self‑sustaining investment plans.
• Localize and implement community development initiatives in each community.
• Build and maintain relationships with internal stakeholders, including acquisition and development, energy, government affairs and public policy, cloud supply chain and operations, marketing, and local Google data center teams.
