About The Job

The Modular Manufacturing & Integration organization is leading an industry-defining transformation in how Google delivers technical infrastructure for the AI era. Transitioning away from conventional, on-site, purpose-built civil construction, our mission is to industrialize data center delivery through mass-assembled, standardized modules and off-site manufacturing.

By shifting labor-intensive assembly, systems integration, and quality testing upstream into controlled factory environments, we enable rapid "square wave" capacity delivery—bringing gigawatt-scale AI compute, liquid cooling, power distribution, and network fabric into productive service with unprecedented velocity upon site arrival. Operating across AI Systems & Infrastructure (AI2), Google Data Centers (GDC), Systems & Manufacturing (ISM), and Google Global Infrastructure (GGI), our team defines the modular technical product and serves as the accountable business owner for industrializing and landing modular capacity globally.

As the Director of Strategy & Business Operations, you will serve as the chief operating strategist, business architect, and executive integrator for Google’s Modular Manufacturing & Integration organization. In this founding leadership role, you will be the first hire dedicated to strategy and business operations, initially operating with high personal leverage and subsequently recruiting and leading a specialized Strategy & BizOps team as the organization scales.

You will bridge the gap between Google's multi-year technical vision and pragmatic cross-organizational execution. You will hold executive business ownership of modular unit economics, capital velocity, and product cost targets—partnering closely with Corp Strategy and Finance while steering the business narrative.

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 force 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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $262000 - $364000 (USD) + 30% bonus target + equity + benefits

  • Translate long-term technical and architectural visions into multi-year strategic roadmaps, operational priorities, and resource allocation models.
  • Serve as the accountable business owner for modular unit economics, evaluating trade-offs between factory capex, logistics overhead, on-site labor elimination, and time-to-market.
  • Partner with Infrastructure Finance to design sophisticated Total Cost of Ownership (PerfTCO) frameworks, quantifying the enterprise balance-sheet value of accelerated capacity deployment.
  • Establish top-down product cost targets for modular SKUs across compute, power, and cooling systems, driving alignment with Hardware Supply Chain/Systems & Manufacturing teams.
  • Craft high-stakes strategic narratives, white papers, and executive presentations for S/VP leadership, Operating Committee reviews, and cross-functional forums. Architect change-management initiatives to drive alignment.
