Program Manager, Energy Strategy and Operations New

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 the Program Manager of Energy Strategy and Operations, you will serve as a strategic partner to leadership and the driving force behind the Energy and Power team's most critical initiatives. Your mission spans two connected mandates: partnering on strategy, long-term planning, and special projects that shape the future of Google's energy portfolio, and building, optimizing, and overseeing the internal operational engine that powers day-to-day execution.

Serve as a trusted advisor and representative for leadership shaping long-term business planning, evaluating strategic options, and sorting through competing priorities to protect executive focus.

Lead coordination across key teams (Legal, Finance, Policy, Infrastructure) to improve cross-team collaboration, align goals and timelines, and drive complex initiatives forward.

Scope, lead, and deliver business-critical projects from initial framing through execution, turning ambiguous challenges into clear, measurable outcomes.

Identify and remove operational bottlenecks, streamline day-to-day processes, and build the playbooks, resources, and training needed to support sustainable team growth.

Own the operating schedule for leadership, overseeing executive reporting, team offsites, and key leadership meetings to drive decision-making and accountability.
