About The Job

As a member of the Real Estate team, you are a critical thinker with versatile knowledge on the front lines of Google's physical expansion. Google cannot grow without you. You are part of a team with a wide range of responsibilities including lease administration, real estate transaction management, and the design and construction supervision of our next and ever expanding offices.

You will partner with regional and workplace leaders to develop and deliver customized supply-side strategies, leveraging workplace insights to meet business needs. You will act with agility and speed to ensure Google’s regional real estate portfolio is optimized for growth, resilience, and total cost efficiency.
