Program Manager, Economic Partnerships and Market Intel

Program Manager, Economic Partnerships and Market Intel at Google

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 the Program Manager for Economic Partnership and Market Intel, you will lead the Economic KOF (Key Opinion Former) Partnership Program, a critical strategic initiative designed to secure the social and political licenses necessary for Google’s data center infrastructure expansion. You will manage a portfolio of regional partnerships focused on key community priorities—such as sustainability, smart agriculture, and AI education—to demonstrate Google’s commitment to local prosperity and economic impact.

Additionally, you will oversee the development and implementation of the Market Intel Map, which leverages a sophisticated blend of AI-driven analysis and human verification to identify, score, and mitigate legislative and political risks that could threaten capacity delivery globally. Your work will be pivotal in unlocking critical permits, building resilient stakeholder relationships, and ensuring an edge for Google in data center regions worldwide.
