About The Position

YouTube Biz Segment GTM is responsible for designing and delivering our service models for our Business Development, Creator and Consumer Success, and Partner Engineering teams to drive sustainable partner growth and customer lifetime value. The team will work closely with Business, Product and Marketing leaders to optimize impact and cost-to-serve across these partner and consumer segments. The core capabilities of the team include innovating and gaining alignment on our partner and consumer service models — who we serve, what service is provided to achieve growth, how the service is provided and incentivized — defining measures of success (impact, productivity, ROI), enabling change management with frontline teams and developing pilots to test new frontline models.

As a Partnerships Strategy and Operations Manager within this team, you will be responsible for driving continuous improvement throughout the business. You'll combine problem-solving expertise and thought leadership to design and deploy various go-to-market levers including role design, incentives, workflow design, and tools to equip the Large Partnerships and Tier 1 Partnerships teams to ensure YouTube and our partners’ long-term success. You will focus on driving productivity and helping partnerships teams drive adoption of products and priorities across LP and T1 segments. You will have exposure and visibility to executive leaders as you present your proposals and demonstrate their impact. You will also work closely with regional teams to shape our localized GTM approach.

This role will own both the long-term goal and roadmap and coordination of day-to-day operations to ensure our service model design is aligned with go-to-market strategies and creator and partner outcomes.
