About the job

Google's infrastructure needs go far beyond server computers.

As a Strategic Negotiator, you combine your deep market knowledge of a given sector with tech industry savvy to negotiate cost-effective solutions to support Google's infrastructure growth. You'll work with specific project teams on negotiating deals, managing vendor and partner relationships and presenting deal recommendations to our Tech leadership.

In this role, you will work within Google Energy and Location Strategy team. You will help to drive location strategy, site selection, and portfolio management for new and existing data centers sites and related infrastructure. You will support the development of the company's global energy portfolio strategy (e.g., identifying and helping in the creation of industry leading renewable energy projects), to support the company’s goal to be carbon neutral.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
