About The Position

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.

As a quality-focused Product Manager, you will bridge the gap between business
strategy and technical innovation. In this role, you will drive the evolution of
new music recommendations across YouTube Main and YouTube Living Room. You will
serve as an advocate for the music mission, ensuring that vertical-specific
goals are met while remaining strategically aligned with YouTube’s broader
platform objectives. You will possess both a formidable analytical foundation
and the communication skills necessary to navigate a complex cross-team
environment.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the
world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our
stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story,
explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at
the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at
the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new
ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
