About the job:

As the Google Cloud Partner Deal Operations Lead, you will step into a high-visibility, senior Individual Contributor (IC) leadership role. In this capacity, you will serve as the primary operational counterpart to the "Strategic Deals and Frameworks" lead. While your counterpart drives the commercial negotiations deals with Google Cloud's priority partners (GSIs, MSPs, ISVs, and high-growth AI startups), your mission is to ensure those signed agreements are executed with operational excellence.

This role requires a powerful execution leader who operates at the intersection of process engineering, financial compliance, and system scaling. You will own the translation of complex, non-standard contract terms into flawless, globally replicable execution models. From managing complex deal and payment logistics to establishing robust performance telemetry, your focus will be on accelerating time-to-value for partners while maintaining strict financial integrity and driving automation across the business lifecycle.

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.
