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're always on call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

As the Senior Director, Product Verticals (ML), you will lead a critical NPI-focused function aligned specifically to Google’s Machine Learning product portfolio. This pivotal leadership role is designed to look across commodities—including silicon, memory, and optics—to ensure disjointed strategies come together into cohesive, executable integrated program plans.

You will manage a multi-disciplinary organization comprising Operations Program Managers (Ops PMs), Supply Chain Program Managers (SCPMs), and Product Manufacturing Engineers (PMEs) across both NPI and sustaining phases. Reporting into the ISM leadership, you will partner closely with executives across Cloud and Google, to ensure our supply chain and operational readiness align with the overall ML/AI product roadmap.

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.
