Leadership Technical Program Manager I, Procurement Operations, Google Cloud

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 Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

• Apply a sound technical understanding of the equipment being procured and the systems used (e.g., ERP, procurement platforms) to inform process design and guide program decisions. Define, monitor, and report on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for procurement operations.
• Identify potential risks and obstacles within procurement operations and develop mitigation strategies.
