Home and Health SDM Manager

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 mission is to be the strategic heartbeat of Google’s Home and Health devices supply chain. We don’t just manage supply chains; we bridge the gap between Google’s most innovative hardware visions and the millions of users who rely on them every day. By combining data-driven precision with forward-thinking strategy, we ensure that the next generation of Fitbit wearables, Nest devices, and AI-powered home speakers reach our customers exactly when they need them.

As our Supply Demand Management (SDM) manager, you will step into a high-impact leadership role, managing a talented team of planners across various evolving portfolios. This isn't just about sustaining the status quo; it’s about "Changing the Business." You will lead the charge in leveraging AI and automation to redefine what "exceptional planning" looks like at Google.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
