About The Job

Whether you're on a consumer product (Gmail, Search, Maps, Chrome, Android) or a business product (Google Ads, AdSense, Google Marketing Platform, Analytics), you will 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 product and help it grow a consumer base. This role involves working 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 Brand Marketing Manager for Brand Programming, you will play a crucial role in shaping the narrative of some of Google’s most visible platforms. You will be at the center of our editorial operations, ensuring alignment and seamless execution of our brand voice across owned brand surfaces, like the Google Homepage. This position requires an organized and collaborative individual who can manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders to deliver cohesive and impactful brand moments.

Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. 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. We approach marketing in a way that only Google can – changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and letting the technology speak for itself.
