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 the future of Google design. They create and clarify product strategy, conceptualize User Experience (UX) ecosystems in ways that mitigate complexity, and inspire teams to push the boundaries of what’s possible. They possess a plan for 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. You are a thoughtful team leader, manager, systems-level design thinker, and visionary – with strong instincts and outstanding intuition informed by user needs and insights. You’ll be responsible for guiding the careers of your team members, working closely with each of them to help them realize their full potential.
UX Design Managers are fierce advocates for the people who use our products as well as the members of their teams. They have a practiced eye for effective design, and are committed to creating elegantly simple user experiences from otherwise complex workflows.
In this role, you’ll take the time to understand not just the execution side of UX, but also the business aspects of the products we build. You’ll collaborate with leaders of other UX, Engineering, and Product Management teams to create innovative experiences across all of Google’s products, leveraging your passion for brand, craft, and design quality.
