Position Summary The Senior Google Cloud Platform Support resource will support the governance, sustainment, operational enablement, and modernization of an enterprise Google Cloud Platform environment.

The role is focused on architecture, design, advisory, governance, and oversight rather than hands-on cloud administration.
