About the job
At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: “Focus on the user and all else will follow.” Google’s UX leaders help define and drive the future of Google design.

They possess a clear vision of the future of user experience and have the courage to pursue forward-thinking design.
Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products.
