The strategies Google employs with our most strategic partners become increasingly complex as our relationships evolve to include multiple partnership, policy, competitive, and other business dimensions. The Strategic Alliances team’s mandate is to work internally across all the business and functional teams that interface with Google’s most strategically complex partners to help shape a cohesive cross-product area engagement strategy for Google.

Acting as a true thought partner, you challenge, advise and support our business and product teams to optimize Google’s engagement strategy. You fully immerse yourself in data collection, draw insight on macro trends and future market developments from analysis of the telco industry, and then take a higher level view to develop compelling, synthesized recommendations. You persistently explore and uncover the business strategies of these partners, and fully grasp how our range of product offerings both complements and competes with theirs.
