Product Marketing Manager, Cloud Observability

Google • Seattle, WA

1d • $114,000 - $163,000

About The Position

Whether you're on a consumer product (like Gmail, Search, Maps, Chrome, Android) or a business product (Google Ads, AdSense, Google Marketing Platform, Analytics), you take part in a complete marketing experience as you lead every facet of the product's journey. From determining positioning, naming, competitive analysis, feature prioritization and external communications, you help shape the product and help it grow a consumer base. This means you work with a cross-functional team across Sales, corporate communications, legal, webmasters, product development, engineering and more. In this role, you'll be involved with product marketing strategy from beginning to end. In this role, you will be instrumental in driving the acquisition of new enterprise customers and developers on Google Cloud. You will own the narrative, positioning, and value proposition for our Cloud Observability portfolio, designed to help organizations understand, monitor, and optimize their complex, distributed applications. Your mission is to elevate the story of how Google Cloud Observability empowers businesses to ensure application performance, reliability, and cost efficiency in modern cloud environments, from monoliths to microservices, and especially for AI-driven workloads. Customer understanding is your superpower. You'll strategically analyze market trends, audience needs, and competitive dynamics to craft compelling narratives that resonate deeply with developers, SREs, IT operators, and executive stakeholders. You are a problem solver who can diagnose complex technical and business challenges related to application health and find solutions. And you are a master communicator who knows how to connect effectively with both internal teams and external audiences. Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
