The US Program Management Lead is the strategic anchor for the Marketing Program Management (MPM) function. In this leadership role, you are responsible for the governance of the "front-end" of the campaign lifecycle-including marketing intake, requirement gathering, and activation strategy. You will lead a high-performing organization of Marketing Program Management Managers across the US, serving as the primary bridge between Google's Marketing teams and the global offshore production engine.

As a Lead of Marketing Program Management Managers, you provide the essential governance layer required to manage high-volume project pipelines, resource capacity, and executive-level stakeholder relationships. Your mission is to move the program management function from "order taking" to "strategic partnership," ensuring that every marketing request is technically sound, strategically aligned, and ready for flawless global execution.

The base salary range for this full-time position is $168,000 - $189,000 + bonus + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role and level. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Please note that the compensation details listed in this role posting reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus or benefits. Some benefits information is included in this job description, and your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range and benefits for this position during the hiring process.

• Global Partnership & Alignment: Ensure that the "handoff" from US Program Management to Offshore Production is seamless, standardized, and high-quality as needed

• Operational Excellence: Analyze operating data and project statistics to identify bottlenecks in the campaign lifecycle. Drive the redesign of intake infrastructure to increase scalability and automate manual requirement-gathering procedures

• Strategic Stakeholder Navigation: Act as escalation point for US-based Marketing leads. Influence marketing strategy by providing data-backed insights into campaign performance, system behavior, and delivery feasibility

• Career & Organizational Growth: Lead the talent strategy for the US MPM team, ensuring robust training, certifications, and a clear career growth trajectory for team members

• MarTech Proficiency: Familiarity with enterprise marketing tools (e.g., Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo)

• Expert Stakeholder Management: Proven track record of managing and influencing executive-level stakeholders (Directors/VPs) within a highly matrixed global organization

• Strategic Pipeline Oversight: Demonstrated ability to manage high-volume project intake and resource capacity planning across multiple business units
