About The Position

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 New Product Introduction (NPI) Operation Program Manager for the Pixel
Phone, you will be the operations leader responsible for launching new products
with a heavy emphasis on development activities. You will ensure the successful
transition of products from development to production within quality, cost, and
capacity parameters
