About the jobA 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.

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.
As a Program Manager for Risk Management for SPARC Portfolio (Strategic Policy, Assurance, Risk and Compliance), you'll collaborate with risk coordinators to maintain accurate risk profiles, focusing on actionable insights for our global data center fleet. Your core responsibilities include monitoring and tracking existing and new risks, and assessing site-level risks to ensure a cohesive narrative between risk and control. You'll develop KRIs, generate risk reports, analyze incidents, and leverage data to enhance controls and predict disruptions. You will be involved in independent decision-making, creative problem-solving, maintaining a risk information library, and contributing to continuous improvement of the risk management framework. You will also manage risk registers, report to partners, create playbooks, communicate status, manage risk acceptance, utilize dashboards, and engage with global partners.
