GCP Innovation Lab Leadership: Direct the operational strategy and governance of the internal Google Cloud sandbox; oversee the development of strategic accelerators, POCs, and reusable IP while managing platform security, cost optimization, and resource accessibility to facilitate high-impact experimentation across the practice.
Customer & Channel Technical Liaison: Serve as a strategic technical point of contact for both clients and Google’s channel/field teams, coordinating joint-pursuits and ensuring alignment with Google’s evolving infrastructure roadmap and "Private Preview" innovations.
Cross-Practice Infrastructure Advisory: Consult with the AI, CX, and API architects to ensure their specific workload requirements (e.g., specialized compute, low-latency audio processing) are optimized and governed within the core GCP environment.

The majority of work is performed remotely, so travel is expected to be fairly low (<15%) - largely driven by conferences, client sales meetings, and an occasional client delivery meeting (ex: project kickoff).
