About the job

When a 1% improvement in efficiency translates into several hundred million dollars, the value of extraordinary performance is clear.
As Vice President of Capacity and Demand, you will lead Google’s capacity planning function, from demand forecasting and reconciliation, to supply planning and supply/demand matching, to portfolio management of many billions of dollars of data center and machine capacity.
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.

Responsibilities
- Develop an accurate statistical demand forecast for Google’s worldwide data center, server, storage, and AI needs on a regular cadence.
- Translate that forecast into supply orders, at multiple lead times, to procure a statistically-optimal portfolio of capacity inventory while managing bounded demand uncertainty and financial constraints.
- Match demand and supply to deliver capacity to internal and external customers congruent with delivery SLOs and modeled stockout and holding costs.
- Manage specification and requirements for first-party and third-party software systems used to forecast, plan, procure, and manage capacity across many products and locations.
- Work closely with all of Google’s major consumer products, enterprise products, ML teams, and Sales teams to both intake demand forecasts and needs, produce an in-spec delivery outcome for each stakeholder, and make efficient use of Google’s capital and OpEx.
