About the job

Google's infrastructure needs go far beyond server computers. As Google's products and services scale the globe, the Strategic Negotiation team works behind the scenes to secure infrastructure for Google's future -- everything from underwater cables to physical data center space. 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. Your successful negotiations have the potential to save Google millions of dollars in operating costs and impact every part of the business.

In this role, you will help to drive location strategy, site selection, and portfolio management for new and existing Data Centers sites and related infrastructure. You will primarily support the development of the Company’s global economic development program for Data Centers. You will discuss directly and work closely with Energy and Location Strategy negotiators to advise on economic development agreements and help establish standard operating policies and procedures to drive future pursuit of sustainable agreements. Your knowledge of existing economic development programs, state and local tax and regulatory environments, and Company goals will position you to influence key decisions. Tasks may include oversight of a broad range of tax and incentive issues which will require an understanding of site and infrastructure development strategy and milestone tracking.

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.
