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.
As a Spend Planning Program Manager, you will be responsible for the budgeting and forecasting of capital to support material supply planning for existing and new products, interpretation of the data center demand signal and translating it to a capital plan for critical long plan equipment and drive optimal funding decisions. You will work closely with Data Center Planning, Purchasing, Engineering, Fulfillment, Commodity Management, Estimating, Data Center Project Controls and Contract Manufacturing teams to develop and oversee the execution of an accurate funding plan supporting procurement activities.
In this role, you will use your skills to establish and drive metrics, drive process and system improvements to accomplish efficiency and scalability goals and influence our growing data center infrastructure supply chain.
Responsibilities
- Manage material capital plan supply to meet existing and new product demand requirements to meet business objectives, coordinating with Demand Planning on changes to demand which impacts delivery of key components as demand needs fluctuate.
- Proactive communication of new product capital plans and status to internal customers. Support the development and presentation of the quarterly spend approval process for all critical equipment.
- Identify and quickly solve funding gaps and inefficiencies. Clearly document process solutions and requirements. Define and manage clear business metrics and goals.
- Leverage Market Intelligence and Statistical inputs towards driving governance, continued, sustained improvements of inventory models and supply chain buffers.
- Develop short and long-term capital forecast models to support material supply, minimize total costs and inventories while maintaining service levels, develop and justify funding and capital allocation strategies that optimize cost.
