About the role

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the AI2 team to keep it running. Within AI2, the Equipment Supply Chain (ESC) Planning organization transforms phase‑level demand signals into high‑accuracy equipment supply plans. We leverage Integrated Business Planning and financial stewardship to proactively mitigate capital expenditure and supply constraints, reliably meeting our customers' evolving capacity needs and supporting Google's accelerated global growth.

You will lead the organization through a pivot, moving from establishing basic visibility to dynamic transformation and outcome‑driven execution, managing a high‑performing team across Demand Planning, Supply Planning (Mechanical and Electrical), Capital Expenditure/Operational Expenditure Management, and Integrated Business Planning.
