About The Position

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

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.

In this role, you will be the primary driver of our institutional collaboration
sandboxes which are designed to foster ongoing engagement with a consortium of
schools, researchers, and organizations. You will manage the collaboration
between Google product/research teams and external institutions to solicit user
feedback and test the impact of our AI products in real-world contexts. You will
have the ability to run smooth, efficient processes that create qualitative
insight and quantifiable impact across multiple workstreams. You will be
responsible for ensuring these programs run smoothly, managing the collaboration
between external education organizations and internal product development teams
to generate evidence-based insights into how AI can improve educational
outcomes.
