Job description
Product and Business Strategy Leaders bring together teams across Google’s functions to help products execute optimally. 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.
The Geo Makers Go-to-Market team supports our two goals and missions covering developers and sustainability. For developer users, we aim “to power developers’ real-world impact by making Geo’s innovation accessible and useful”. For sustainability users, we aim to “power the most helpful, trusted, and innovative digital representation of the real world for the user ecosystems we serve to empower planetary sustainability and human resilience, now and for generations to come”.
As a team, we achieve this by “accelerating the creation and adoption of products customers and users”. Our team is comprised of a mix of product operations and strategy, product marketing, and growth leaders working in close collaboration with other cross-functional Google teams.
The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.
The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $222000 - $308000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + equity + benefits
