Commodity Managers work with Engineering teams to make sure Google
has the supplies and equipment to put into production the
innovative products coming from our Engineering teams. As a
Commodity Manager, you use your wide industry knowledge and
strategic supplier relationships to optimize our total cost of
ownership for our global and growing infrastructure. The scale at
which Google operates means that savings on just one piece of
hardware can have a huge impact on Google's bottom line. The
Equipment Supply Chain (ESC) organization is the backbone of
Google’s physical infrastructure. We are responsible for the
end-to-end lifecycle—from initial architectural concept to global
deployment—of the power and cooling systems that fuel our data
centers. As a Senior Manager of Supply Chain, Data Center Equipment
you will lead a high-impact team of Category Managers to navigate a
volatile global market. You aren't just buying equipment; you are
designing a scalable supply ecosystem. By leveraging deep industry
intelligence and fostering executive-level supplier partnerships,
you will ensure that Google’s infrastructure remains an advantage,
transforming supply chain constraints into opportunities for
innovation and speed-to-market. In this role, you will bridge the
gap between long-term engineering roadmaps and real-world supply
chain execution. You possess a rare blend of technical depth in
industrial infrastructure and sophisticated commercial acumen. You
are equally comfortable navigating complex legal frameworks,
auditing Tier-2 supplier sub-components, and coaching a team of
category managers. Your mission is to ensure global availability,
de-risk the supply chain against geopolitical or market shifts, and
achieve industry-leading Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The AI and
Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower
Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by
delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency,
reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google
Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide. We're the
driving team behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering
the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering
unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the
essential platforms that enable developers to build the future.
From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of
world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the
development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global
Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much
more. The US base salary range for this full-time position is
$237,000-$329,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are
determined by role, level, and location. Within the range,
individual pay is determined by work location and additional
factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant
education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the
specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring
process. Please note that the compensation details listed in US
role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include

Responsibilities Mentor and grow a high-performing global team,
fostering a data-driven culture to execute multi-year strategies
supporting Google’s massive multi-gigawatt growth. Lead high-stakes
negotiations for "first-of-kind" technologies, securing agreements
that balance IP protection, ESG goals, and operational agility.
Revolutionize end-to-end supply chain models—incorporating VMI and
regionalization—to slash lead times and eliminate "single point of
failure" risks. Orchestrate executive-level partnerships with
global integrators, utilizing performance scorecards to drive
excellence in sustainability, cost, and capacity. Serve as the
strategic interface between Engineering, Construction, and Finance
to seamlessly integrate next-generation hardware into our global
fleet.
