About the job
Commodity 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. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $236000 - $330000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + bonus + equity + benefits
