About the job

Technical Infrastructure (TI) is the backbone of Google - the global data centers, networks and integrated hardware and software that power both Google customer products and services, including Google Cloud, and our internal operations. Google builds and operates one of the largest state-of-the-art private data center fleets in the world. It is a complex technical area with very large operating and capital budgets growing year over year.

The TI Finance mission is to partner cross-functionally to drive optimal decision-making, provide insights for strategic and tactical decisions, and bend the cost curve down to provide Google with a competitive advantage.

In this position, you will lead the finance team partnering with Data Center Construction, responsible for the end-to-end capital deployment and delivery of Google's global data center builds (civil, structural, architectural, electrical, and mechanical integration). You will play a key role in shaping commercial contracting strategies, optimizing multi-billion-dollar project budgets, and ensuring financial discipline as Google expands its infrastructure footprint.

As a Senior Finance Manager for Data Center Construction, you will move beyond traditional cost accounting to act as the primary strategic business partner for Alphabet’s multi-billion-dollar data center construction portfolio. Leading the team dedicated to global capacity delivery, you will direct financial governance over multi-billion dollar capital deployment, and evaluate commercial construction strategy to optimize return on investment.

This role demands a blend of large-scale infrastructure capital management, construction commercial acumen, and executive-level leadership. You will advocate financial governance across project life-cycles, guide cash flow optimization for long-cycle build schedules, and deliver executive-level insights to TI leadership.

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

US: $219000 - $305000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + equity + benefits

• Partner with Construction and Engineering leadership to establish rigorous capital expenditure governance, tracking budgets, commitments, contingencies, and cash-flow milestones for active and planned builds.

• Drive financial evaluation and risk analysis for general contracting strategies, commercial delivery models (e.g., Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC), Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), Design-Build, Build-to-Suit (BTS)), and change order governance.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives to optimize unit costs (e.g., $/MW) and implement benchmarking frameworks across global project sites.
