About the job

Google Cloud has formed a dedicated global function focused on accelerating market‑share gains and revenue/consumption within the startup ecosystem. As a part of that function, Google Cloud has formed a new Venture Capital and Private Equity function, which owns the most important relationships with the top funding sources in Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) globally. This team seeks to engage with the right firms at a senior level of influence to ensure that Google Cloud gains access to new startups early in their formation, along with gaining influence and access to senior decision‑makers in enterprises via private equity relationships.

The Director, Global Venture Capital and Private Equity, is a senior leadership role within the Global Startup organization within Google Cloud. You will define and implement a highly differentiated strategy focused on delivering accelerated results from the most influential funding sources in VC and PE globally. In this role, you will manage a team of global functional leaders who focus on select relationships, along with driving a more scaled engagement motion in focus firms. You will also define a new scale‑based, lower touch strategy to ensure that Google Cloud is educating information and AI/cloud thought leadership broadly and with minimal human intervention. You’ll play a critical and very visible leadership role both within Google Cloud and in the market at large, acting as a spokesperson and ambassador to startup founders, VC firms, CxOs, and private equity leadership – not to mention be press‑approved to speak at events and programs externally.

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.
