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.

As a Strategy and Operations Associate, you will set the strategy and direction for YouTube Marketing across our major consumer products with a focus on Short Form Video (i.e. YouTube Shorts). In this role, you will partner with Marketing leadership to establish strategic direction and getting broad exposure to YouTube's business. You will work with teams across Google/YouTube and partner cross-functionally with key leaders across Marketing, Product, Finance, and People Operations to solve challenges, drive high priority projects, and achieve greater operational excellence within Marketing. In this role, you will become a trusted source of advice and an essential partner to executives across products.

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.
