Many of you may consider working for Google worse than going client side, given their impending takeover of the industry. But for the remainder, I thought you might like to take a peek at one of the latest gigs this up-and-coming advertiser has open.

Since this position applies to roughly 90 percent of the recent layoffs we've seen (although, fewer have been reported in the last few days) have been account side, this job only seemed appropriate. Keep in mind Google has a lengthy application process that could leave you feeling dumber than ever. To learn more, click here.

Senior Account Executives drive revenue by selling Google's mobile solutions to top-tier advertisers. This is a high-energy job requiring persistent and persuasive interactions with clients, deep mobile and Internet expertise, proven sales skills, the ability to work collaboratively with internal sales teams, closing deals, strong communication skills and a broad base of mobile industry contacts. You think strategically, anticipate how decisions are made, and understand the details of individual campaigns, and you'll persistently explore and uncover the business needs of key clients. You'll also promote and manage senior-level relationships to ensure that your customers' needs and requirements are met. This means you'll take their feedback and serve as their advocate within Google while collaborating with other Google Sales teams to provide them with a comprehensive portfolio of options and customized solutions.

More after the jump.

— Must understand the competitive landscape and stay updated on fashion/beauty/accessory trends

— Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, Communications, Advertising, Marketing, Direct Response or Promotion (or comparable work experience) from an accredited college

— Working knowledge of Macintosh, proficiency with Word, experience with database tools and knowledge of Internet technology

And can do all the other important stuff like manage projects start to finish, keep track of the details, budget, estimate, bill, forecast and write a great creative brief then we really want to hear from you.
