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.

Sellside is the economic engine that powers publishers and partners worldwide, and the Support team plays a critical role in shaping that overall publisher experience. We act as the foundational layer of support, managing high-volume incoming streams and routing workflows efficiently across global markets. Our team focuses on driving operational excellence, eliminating friction points, and ensuring seamless partner engagement at scale.

In this role, you will be a forward-thinking leader who thrives in ambiguity, looks beyond day-to-day tactical metrics, and excels at transforming complex operational roadblocks into scalable, long-term solutions.

Responsibilities

• Own and optimize global L1 operations for Sellside, ensuring strict adherence to SLAs, high-quality resolution metrics, and seamless follow-the-sun coverage.
• Anticipate future operational bottlenecks and initiate proactive measures to stabilize delivery, optimize quality, and futureproof sustainable delivery.
• Lead detailed root-cause analysis for known operational roadblocks and deploy preventative guardrails and structural changes to permanently mitigate recurring issues.
• Frame complex operational problems, recommend data-driven solution alternatives, and drive cross-functional alignment across business units to execute highly ambiguous projects.
• Synthesize complex data and volume trends to influence critical investment, operational trade-offs, and resource allocation decisions. Drive strategic discussions with key stakeholders and partner teams to solve problems at scale and as one unified Sellside ecosystem.
