Director, ELS Supply Expansion Investment Plan

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team. 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.

As our products and services scale the globe, the Energy and Location Strategy (ELS) team works behind the scenes to deliver the infrastructure capacity needed to support Google's rapid growth. The Cloud and Asset Portfolio Solutions (CAPS) team sits within ELS, and we manage a complex portfolio of infrastructure projects, ensuring that Google's services have the resources they need to operate seamlessly and reliably. CAPS performs location strategy and portfolio management to determine where, why, and how much infrastructure assets Google needs to scale into the future. We provide the programs, strategies, and tools for our regional negotiation and execution teams to make high-quality decisions at scale, faster and with less risk to meet Google’s business needs.

We are moving past legacy supply planning. In this role, you will be instrumental in enabling ELS to build a next-generation asset and the infrastructure investment planning engine that leverages AI to de-risk high-capital decisions. Your work will be the backbone of data center development, managing a portfolio in an increasingly global market. You'll be a key contributor to the development and implementation of the supply expansion plan that the Land, Energy, and Data Center development teams need to deliver, ensuring alignment with Google's overall business strategy and ambitions.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
