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.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

  • Help develop an external developer and startup community in the region. Lead strategies and innovation to help build a relevant, engaged and well informed developer ecosystem building on Gemini, Google Cloud and other Google Developer products and API's in Japan and possibly beyond.
  • Manage and lead the regional Google for Startups Accelerator, with internal and external mentors, startup founders and in partnership with regional stakeholders.
  • Manage relationships and help foster the creation of local developer communities. Create opportunities to meet local developers to promote adoption and practice use of Google developer technologies.
  • Become an active and visible Googler in the regional tech community, speaking at Google developer/third-party events such as conferences and meetups across the region, and actively engaging with regional governments, universities, and business/startup groups interested in Google products.
