We look at the partner ecosystem through four lenses: system integrators who can expand and accelerate how quickly customers can transform digitally and implement cloud workloads, independent software vendors that broaden our addressable markets, technology partners that complement and complete our solutions, and resellers who extend our reach.

In this role, you will work on highly visible and complex initiatives, working across all layers of the organization from senior VP leaders to front-line partner managers in the field to develop targeted strategies to accelerate sales and services for cloud products.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry.
