About the job
Whether you’re on a consumer product (like Gmail, Search, Maps, Chrome, Android) or a business product (Google Ads, AdSense, Google Marketing Platform, Analytics), you take part in a complete marketing experience as you lead every facet of the product’s journey. From determining positioning, naming, competitive analysis, feature prioritization and external communications, you help shape the voice of the product and help it grow a consumer base. This means you work with a cross-functional team across Sales, corporate communications, legal, webmasters, product development, engineering and more. In this role, you’ll be involved with product marketing strategy from beginning to end.
In this role, you will untangle complex business challenges, charter undefined spaces, and be at the forefront of one of Google’s products. You’ll identify, incubate, and drive a number of priority strategic initiatives and special projects for Search Marketing, from opportunity analysis, to early product roadmapping and positioning, innovation sprints, and crisis response. You will bring excellent business acumen and marketing expertise, quickly grasp a problem space, and make it tractable. You’ll be an excellent communicator, collaborator, and leader, able to assemble and drive a cross-company group towards a shared goal. You will work in ambiguity and complexity, manage significant breadth, and be a credible subject matter expert. You’ll work with the Search Marketing Leadership team and be a thought partner to executive leaders across the company, bringing a marketing point of view to address opportunities, challenges, and initiatives.
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
- Monitor and identify developments, challenges, and opportunities for Search Marketing.
- Establish thought-partnership relationships with key stakeholders across Marketing, Product, and Public Relations teams, and business organizations across Search and Google.
- Work as an individual contributor and project lead, driving a portfolio of strategic initiatives and special projects from opportunity analysis, product roadmap and positioning, and innovation sprints.
- Communicate insights, ideas, and results with executives through live presentations and written proposals and reports.
