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 Strategic Estimating Manager, you will be responsible for the development, maintenance, and updates to all forward-looking estimates associated with the Plans of Record, new technologies, special programs, and global cost goals.

You will work with the Engineering, Construction, Procurement, Security, Networking, and Operation teams to ensure cost data developed and managed meets the requirements to each program.
