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.

• 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.
• As a Program Manager, you will manage the strategies for scalable developer outreach programs in Sub-Saharan Africa and lead the execution of these programs. This includes responsibility for Google developer events, as well as having responsibility for content and regional support.
• You will manage relationships with, and foster creation of, local developer communities, including Google Developers Experts, Google Developer Student Clubs and other developer groups working with Cloud, Machine Learning and more.
• You will meet with local developers and companies in Sub-Saharan Africa, promoting Google technologies.
