About The Job
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 will work with NPI, Demand Planning, Purchasing, Engineering, Fulfillment and Contract Manufacturing (CM) to develop and oversee the execution of the material plans through the product life-cycle. You will use the problem-solving skills to establish and drive metrics, drive process and system improvements to accomplish goals and directly support the growing infrastructure at the global data centers.
