Senior Account Manager, gTech GOC

About the Job

As the Google Operations Center (GOC) Account Manager, you will operate as a strategic business partner and the primary bridge between Google's Product Areas and the GOC. You will be responsible for understanding the end-to-end value chains of your partners and translating their organizational goals and constraints into actionable GOC strategies.

A significant portion of this role focuses on the future: managing annual and multi-year long-range planning, anticipating stakeholder needs, and ensuring GOC operational teams have clear visibility into shifting business priorities.
