About The Position

As a Product Manager for the YouTube Notifications Platform (YTNP), you will imagine and brainstorm innovative notification types that genuinely excite people and bring them back to YouTube. Your mission is to help users understand value (e.g., likes, comments) that’s happening on the platform, and then design strategies and platform experiences in partnership with YouTube teams to help communicate this value responsibly. You will act as a cross-team expert, and partner with Viewer, Community, Creator and Music teams to orchestrate a seamless notification experience and drive the growth of YouTube products and experiences. 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.
