About the job
Commodity Managers work with Engineering teams to make sure Google has the supplies and equipment to put into production the innovative products coming from our Engineering teams. As a Commodity Manager, you use your wide industry knowledge and strategic supplier relationships to optimize our total cost of ownership for our global -- and growing -- infrastructure. The scale at which Google operates means that savings on just one piece of hardware can have a huge impact on Google's bottom line.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Responsibilities
- Manage commercial relationships for PCB fabrication, laminate, and other upstream suppliers.

- Manage critical supplier relationships through geographical diversification, and establish secure dual-sourcing pipelines for raw materials to guarantee uninterrupted supply for next-generation hardware platforms.
- Develop supply chain diversification strategies and execute against those strategies for supply assurance.
