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.

As a Product Strategy Manager, you will work with cross-functional leadership to scope initiatives, develop hypotheses and recommendations, create product strategies and roadmaps, develop narratives, and support various Google-level initiatives. The role sits on the Central Experience Strategy team and focuses on driving alignment and success for Core Experience.
