About the job

Google's leadership team hand-picks thorny business challenges, and members of BizOps work in small teams to find solutions. As part of this team you fully immerse yourself in data collection, draw insight from analysis, and then zoom out to develop compelling, synthesized recommendations. Taking strategy one step further, you also persuasively communicate your recommendations to senior-level executives, roll-up your sleeves to help drive implementation and check back-in to see the impact of your recommendations.

As a Resource Manager, you will partner with practice leaders within Google Cloud Professional Services to ensure effective and timely staffing of projects in Global Services Delivery. You will be involved in setting a regular cadence with demand requesters to ensure understanding of staffing requirements, timelines and any changes to the requirements through the business cycle. With the knowledge gained during demand intake, you will strategize with practice leaders on the best fulfillment strategy given the requirements of the project.

• Ensure demand accuracy for practice through weekly calls and updates that allow for an accurate view of demand and where it is at in the staffing life-cycle.
