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 the 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.
