Our team pushes Google to scale at key points that refine our products and infrastructure by executing efficiently, bringing solid business sense and sound judgment, and working effectively across organizational lines.
Our roles often include components of strategy (e.g. analyzing and understanding new trends in the industry, building business plans), operations (e.g. running the cadence of organizations, connecting the operating lines between our functions), and communications. Our team partners with senior leadership to run important functions that cross-cut our existing organizations and deliver high impact projects. We help Engineers, PMs, UX, and all of our other functions to build amazing products that delight our users, and then get those products into their hands.
Product Strategy and Operations plays a critical role in Google Maps Platform’s strategy to provide the best location based services for developers and businesses. In this role, you will focus on developing strategies, business cases, and ecosystem activation plans aligned to our business goals to create internally unified go-to-market (GTM) voice for each product area that we support. You will also partner with product, UX, and GTM teams to shape the product strategy and goals to unlock growth in your product area. You will be responsible for keeping a pulse on the business and, more importantly, an opinion on where it should go. You will be observing the patterns of the business performance, identifying and acting on hypotheses around growth, and delivering scaled launch execution with your Product Manager, Business, and GTM counterparts.
