Google is not a conventional company, and we don't intend to become one.
True, we share attributes with the world's most successful
organizations - a focus on innovation and smart business practices comes
to mind - but even as we continue to grow, we're committed to retaining
a small-company feel.
At Google, we know that every employee has
something important to say, and that every employee is integral to our
success. We provide individually-tailored compensation packages that can
be comprised of competitive salary, bonus, and equity components, along
with the opportunity to earn further financial bonuses and rewards.
Googlers thrive in small, focused teams and high-energy environments,
believe in the ability of technology to change the world, and are as
passionate about their lives as they are about their work.
Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers
to keep the big picture in focus. As a Program Manager at Google, you
lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects. You plan requirements with
internal customers and usher projects through the entire project
lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks
and clearly communicating goals to project stakeholders. Your projects
often span offices, time zones and hemispheres, and it's your job to
keep all the players coordinated on the project's progress and
deadlines.
Job Title: Developer Relations Ecosystem Program Manager, Sub-Saharan Africa
As a Program Manager, you will coordinate, manage
scalable developer outreach and support programs, including the Google
Developer Groups program, across the Sub-Saharan Africa region. This
could include responsibility for Google events, as well as having
responsibility for content. Additionally, you will manage local regional
(West and Central Africa) relationships with regional developers and
start-up communities, including technology hubs, incubators and
accelerators. You will meet with local region developers and companies,
promoting Google technologies and programs to them. You will also track
both the top apps and top developers from your assigned region and look
at how Google can better spotlight both them and their apps.
You
will act as the “regional expert” for West and Central Africa within
the Developer Relations team, in addition to managing the Google
Developer Groups (GDG) program across Sub-Saharan Africa and other
programs as needed.
The Program Manager role is not tied to a
particular product assignment, but rather is regionally-focused in an
attempt to drive interest in a broad range of products that are
strategic to Google's success in various global regions. You have a
strong technical background, as well as a history as an active
participant/lead in developer or startup communities, and exceptional
project/program management skills.
You ideally have a community
management background with a deep understanding of ecosystem
interactions between and among various developer communities. You will
find creative ways to increase impact by working closely with technology
hubs, Google Developer Experts (GDE), Google Developer Groups, Google
Developers Launchpad and other related developer initiatives in the
region.
