This is a senior Google Cloud role focused on strategic partner architecture for major global systems integrators in EMEA. The position combines deep technical leadership with business advisory responsibilities, and it is designed for someone who can operate at executive level, shape long-term technology direction, and help drive large-scale cloud and AI partnerships forward.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Build and sustain trusted advisory relationships with priority GSI partners across EMEA, working directly with their CTOs, lead architects, and practice leaders to secure multi-year commitments to Google Cloud technologies.<\/li>\n
  • Act as a hybrid technical and business advisor, effectively functioning as a Google Cloud CTO counterpart for one or more priority partners and helping guide the joint business plan from both a technology and commercial perspective.<\/li>\n
  • Bring strong expertise in public cloud and enterprise technology to partner discussions, and represent Google Cloud externally through conferences, online engagement, and other thought-leadership settings.<\/li>\n
  • Advise on integration approaches, partner enterprise architecture choices, and the platform and application infrastructure needed to deliver complete solutions for complex, large-scale partner agreements.<\/li>\n
  • Own the broader enterprise architecture relationship with GSI partners by coordinating with Google Cloud Platform customer engineers, principal architects, product management, and technical teams to create reusable, enterprise-ready assets.<\/li>\n
  • Serve as the technical approval point for the most strategic Gemini Enterprise AI funding opportunities.<\/li>\n
  • Work closely with the EMEA Partner Development Manager for the relevant GSIs to communicate the full value of technical solutions and to execute impactful engagements across EMEA sub-regions and countries.<\/li>\n
  • Travel as needed to customer sites, conferences, and other related events, with travel averaging roughly half of the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What Google is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • A bachelor\u00e2\u0080\u0099s degree in computer science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.<\/li>\n
    • At least 10 years of experience as an enterprise architect or in a comparable customer-facing technical role.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with cloud market analysis and cloud computing across applications, infrastructure, storage, platforms, or data.<\/li>\n
    • Experience presenting to and influencing both technical stakeholders and senior executives.<\/li>\n
    • Practical knowledge of modern AI methods, generative AI, and data technologies, including the ability to evaluate technical solutions.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with structured enterprise architecture practices, hybrid cloud environments, and migration planning from on-premises systems to cloud deployments.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to understand industry-specific technology solutions and quickly adapt to new technologies, methods, and products in the cloud and IT landscape.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to deliver results while working across functions to shape and position solutions that combine multiple products.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to influence audiences, identify growth opportunities within accounts, and drive expansion conversations.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to influence GSI stakeholders, identify expansion opportunities in partner accounts, and help accelerate agreement progress without partner-delivery escalations on major GSI-led deals.<\/li>\n
    • Strong ownership of outcomes, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to make decisions and influence stakeholders at a deep domain level.<\/li>\n
    • English proficiency, as Google states that English is required for all roles unless the posting explicitly says otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
