About The Position

Strategy & Operations (S&O) professionals in Google’s Marketing organization provide business critical insights and analytics, ensure cross-functional alignment of goals and execution, and help teams drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. Whether you are embedded within a specific marketing team to use insights to enable better marketing decisions or the global S&O function to equip the organization to succeed at scale, you will engage with Google leadership in order to establish Marketing’s strategic direction. You will manage planning and operational processes and work cross-functionally with key partners across Marketing, Product, Finance and Engineering to solve our toughest challenges, advocate for high-priority projects, and drive greater operational excellence within Marketing. To be successful in this role, you have a hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving, effective quantitative and communication skills, and the ability to take on broad-reaching and ambiguous questions while working collaboratively and cross-functionally with Googlers of all levels. The Platforms and Devices (P&D) Marketing team at Google aims to transform computing to empower everyone. Our mission is to ensure that Google's first-party devices, software platforms, and marketplaces reach the right consumers at the right time. The mission of the Central Marketing Strategy and Operations team is to enable P&D Marketing to make more confident decisions and work more efficiently through AI-enhanced operational excellence. We are a team of strategic orchestrators and operational experts. We act as the connective tissue between high-level strategy and execution, ensuring P&D Marketing is aligned, agile, and set up for success. We lead through the art of influence: fostering seamless communication, managing stakeholders with empathy, and applying an insight-led approach. 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.
