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.

In this role, you are a primary architect of Google’s physical retail commercial strategy. You own the goal for how the Google ecosystem Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit is sold and experienced in our flagship and partner environments. This is a high-impact role requiring a blend of commercial acumen, operational discipline, and visionary thinking. You will lead the end-to-end strategy for business initiatives, defining the "north star" for how we drive conversion and premium customer experiences. You don't just work cross-functionally; you lead the cross-functional narrative, aligning Directors and Vice Presidents (VPs) across Product, Marketing, and Finance to ensure our retail investments drive brand and sustainable business growth.
