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.

In this role, you will own the critical intersection of model performance, infrastructure capacity, and commercial strategy for Vertex AI and Gemini. You will translate how efficiently our models run into how we price, package, and govern access to scarce compute, designing consumption offerings, commitment models, and PayGo/quota policy that balance customer value against physical capacity constraints. Your role demands both technical depth (model serving, GSUs, latency and efficiency profiles) and commercial instinct (pricing, commitments, margin). You will build hard-won consensus across engineering, finance, capacity, and sales, and your decisions will directly shape utilization, margin, and reliability across the entire platform.
