About the jobCommodity Managers work with Engineering teams to make sure Google has the supplies and equipment to put into production the innovative products coming from our Engineering teams. As a Commodity Manager, you use your wide industry knowledge and strategic supplier relationships to optimize our total cost of ownership for our global -- and growing -- infrastructure. The scale at which Google operates means that savings on just one piece of hardware can have a huge impact on Google's bottom line.
The Equipment Supply Chain (ESC) organization is the backbone of Google's physical infrastructure. We are responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle-from initial architectural concept to global deployment-of the power and cooling systems that fuel our data centers.
As a Senior Manager of Supply Chain, Data Center Equipment you will lead a high-impact team of Category Managers to navigate a volatile global market. You will not just buy equipment; you will be designing a scalable supply ecosystem. By leveraging industry intelligence and fostering executive-level supplier partnerships, you will ensure that Google's infrastructure remains an advantage, transforming supply chain constraints into opportunities for innovation and speed-to-market.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between long-term engineering roadmaps and real-world supply chain execution. You will possess a rare blend of technical depth in industrial infrastructure and sophisticated commercial acumen. You will be equally comfortable navigating legal frameworks, auditing Tier-2 supplier sub-components, and coaching a team of category managers. You will ensure global availability, de-risk the supply chain against geopolitical or market shifts, and achieve industry-leading Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what's possible.
