Director, Head of Compute Finance

Google's Treasury team is on a mission to manage and protect Google's financial assets, optimize the balance sheet, and support the financial needs of Alphabet and its family of businesses. As the demand for large-scale AI compute accelerates, our customers require tailored capital solutions to finance hardware commitments.

As the Head of Compute Finance, you will be responsible for enabling customer financing solutions for Google's custom AI Infrastructure, specifically focusing on Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). You will lead the structuring, execution, and risk management of complex financing structures—including equipment leasing, asset-backed securitization, special purpose vehicles (SPVs), bank syndication, and credit support arrangements—to lower barriers to adoption and accelerate business generation for Google TPUs. You will collaborate intensively, both internally (e.g., treasury capital markets, cloud sales and finance, data center sourcing, energy location strategy, corporate development, controllership, and legal) and externally (e.g., capital providers, investment banks, data center developers, neoclouds, TPU customers), serving as the primary TPU financing structuring contact for our cloud sales team, client agreement leads and finance executives, as well as banking partners and institutional capital providers. You will lead a team to scale this activity and ensure it operates seamlessly across the Google organization.

The name Google came from "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. And nobody at Google loves big numbers like the Finance team when providing in depth analysis on all manner of strategic decisions across Google products. From developing forward-thinking analysis to generating management reports to scaling our automated financial processes, the Finance organization is an important partner and advisor to the business.
