**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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will work with engineering, product, and UX counterparts to guide software projects through the entire project lifecycle to deliver the maps component of the Google Auto Services product.

The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.

The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.

**Responsibilities**:

- Work closely with Software Engineers, Product Managers, and other Engineering teams to get high-quality products and features through the software project lifecycle.
- Manage program/project schedules, identify possible issues, and clearly communicate them to the stakeholders.
- Work with Engineering teams to track their work, capture status, and identify risks.
- Report feature/program status to stakeholders and track cross-team dependencies.
- Work with and assist product team with launch approval and software release practices.
