About the job
At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day.
In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.
One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.
Play Loyalty focuses on building relationships between users, Google Play and the developers who create games on our platforms. We are driving substantial growth in our business by building the tools, experiences, and infrastructure to supercharge gaming across Android.
The Gamer Profile and Services teams own and run services that enable games to communicate directly with Google Play and build value by enhancing users' journeys and the effectiveness of our products for developers. We power experiences such as seamless cross-device sign-in, quests and achievements, and leaderboards.
We will build on this foundation to ease, excite, and ultimately enhance users' gaming, not just while they play, but across their gaming lives. And we'll do this not just across Google Play, but across Google's whole ecosystem.
Google Play offers music, movies, books, apps and games for devices, powered by the cloud. It syncs across devices and on the web. As part of the Android and Mobile team, Googlers working on Google Play do everything from engineering our backend systems, to shaping product strategy, to forming great content partnerships. They make it possible for people to do things like buy an ebook or song on their Android phone, then have it instantly available on their laptop. The Google Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.
Responsibilities
- Drive our holistic Gamer profile and services products. Identify opportunities to grow and benefit our multi-sided ecosystem (i.e., Users, Developers, Services, Google) and be able to inspire executive leadership.
- Delineate roles and responsibilities between yourself, and your lead Play Games Services Product Manager. Report regularly to senior Google Play management on product and program performance.
- Manage a team of Product Managers directly, embedding a performance culture. Advocate, collaborate, and co-create across Google (e.g., Google Play, YouTube, Android, Google Cloud) and with third-parties to create, execute, and land valuable and holistic products.
- Establish analyses and market research hypotheses in order to create a compelling and convincing long-term outlook and roadmap.
- Build cross-functional working relationships with engineering, UX, analytics, and research functions on your team.
