Our team pushes Google to scale at key points that refine our products and infrastructure by executing efficiently, bringing solid business sense and sound judgment, and working effectively across organizational lines.
Our roles often include components of strategy (e.g. analyzing and understanding new trends in the industry, building business plans), operations (e.g. running the cadence of organizations, connecting the operating lines between our functions), and communications. Our team partners with senior leadership to run important functions that cross-cut our existing organizations and deliver high impact projects. We help Engineers, PMs, UX, and all of our other functions to build amazing products that delight our users, and then get those products into their hands.

You will help shape some of Google's boldest ventures, seeing the big picture while effectively managing detail. You will grow in a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating environment and are excited by both planning and execution. This role requires extensive cross-functional collaboration with product management, engineering, marketing, finance, sales, operations, and supply chain teams.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
