**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 agreements, 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.

As a Strategic Negotiator, you will own and manage strategic, external agreement discussions, and vendor management. You will discuss agreements that will have long-term results such as shorter time-to-market, cost savings, and operational efficiency. In addition to agreements and master service agreements (MSAs), you will manage vendor management to ensure proactive, collaborative alliances, and relationships with vendors across regions.

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 keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

**Responsibilities**:

- Collaborate with internal business and infrastructure technical teams to identify and define strategic initiatives necessary to meet Google's near-term and future network infrastructure needs.
- Build strategic relationships with vendors, identify compelling opportunities for partnership or expansion with teams, and determine specific solutions that meet commercial, technical, and timing requirements.
- Identify and manage agreements with vendors providing dark fiber, capacity, and colocation.
- Lead partnerships in tandem with our Legal, Treasury, Policy, and Tax teams.
- Articulate Google's infrastructure position in the region to internal and external stakeholders. Communicate progress internally, and collaborate with Network Deployment teams.
