About the job
Strategy & Operations (S&O) professionals in Google’s Marketing organization provide business critical insights and analytics, ensure cross-functional alignment of goals and execution, and help teams drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. Whether you are embedded within a specific marketing team to use insights to enable better marketing decisions or the global S&O function to equip the organization to succeed at scale, you will engage with Google leadership in order to establish Marketing’s strategic direction. You will manage planning and operational processes and work cross-functionally with key partners across Marketing, Product, Finance and Engineering to solve our toughest challenges, advocate for high-priority projects, and drive greater operational excellence within Marketing.
To be successful in this role, you have a hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving, effective quantitative and communication skills, and the ability to take on broad-reaching and ambiguous questions while working collaboratively and cross-functionally with Googlers of all levels.
In this role, you will view the strategic priorities across the entire Consumer Marketing organization. You’ll use this vantage point to shape and own various consumer product strategies as well as cross-product strategy, identify opportunities to encourage deeper collaboration across teams, and plug into key company priorities. You’ll develop relationships with senior stakeholders across the team, while also going deep with teams to help drive progress.
Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google’s products solve the world’s problems-from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can-changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
Responsibilities
- Lead Consumer Marketing and cross-Google Marketing strategy projects that inform decisions related to annual planning, investment strategy, prioritization, and other ongoing business priorities, enabling insights and decision-making velocity
- Manage a team of people who oversee strategy for various consumer products
- Lead initiatives that directly reflect the needs of the Consumer Marketing leadership team
- Manage global initiatives that drive alignment and develop projects that scale at a global level
- Drive strategic projects across the Marketing organization, partnering closely with product areas including YouTube and business-to-business (B2B) Marketing
