Job description

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe.

You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.

We drive alignment on what we should build, where, when, and who may occupy it through the Building Demand Plan (BDP) and Earmarks, an extensive set of optimization processes which provides demand justification and outlook for capital funding of data centers. This in turn provides signals to the downstream partner teams to identify new supply options and expansion of current facilities and assets. Within DCP, the Demand and Allocation Planning team is responsible for developing and maintaining our end-to-end power plan of record and continuously seeking to deliver further optimization through extensive scenario planning. We provide key upstream and downstream partners with chase signals, driving the acquisition of additional capacity, configuration of facilities to support the latest ML chips, and even where we may need to shape demand between geographies. 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. 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.
