About the job
The Go-to-Market Operations (GTM) team ensures that Google's complex and ever-evolving ads business runs smoothly. We are instrumental in setting the go-to-market strategy and guiding flawless execution and operations against the strategy. We stay focused on aligning the highest-level company priorities with strong day-to-day operations, while also helping to evolve early stage ideas into future-growth initiatives. We have teams embedded in each of the major Ads business areas, as well as global teams that work across the business areas.
As a Strategy and Operations Lead for Greater China and Korea (GCKR), you will act as a critical strategic partner to the regional leadership team and the VP. You will help to navigate a rapidly shifting landscape with high velocity and excellence.
You are a bridge-builder and a translator. You take broad, ambiguous business problems and turn them into structured projects with clear plans. Whether you are crafting a high-stakes narrative for a global executive forum or digging into the details with Legal and Finance to get a complex agreement across the finish line, you bring a management-consulting to everything you do.
In this role, you aren’t just following a process—you are raising the bar. You will challenge the status quo, provide the "so what" behind our data, and mentor more junior team members to ensure our team remains a trusted advisor to the business. If you grow in change and move from high-level strategy to deep-dive execution without missing a beat, this is the role for you.
Responsibilities
- Act as a strategic partner to the GCKR leadership team, taking highly ambiguous business challenges and translating them into structured projects with clear scopes, workstreams, and execution plans.
- Lead the design and delivery of high-stakes executive narratives. Own the "so what" of our regional performance and strategy, shaping the story for APAC leadership and global executive forums.
- Drive high-priority initiatives that require deep cross-functional collaboration. Work across different teams to move projects with high velocity and precision. Mentor junior team members.
- Use data-driven insights to influence global and regional stakeholders, ensuring GCKR priorities are understood and addressed.
- Lead the strategy and planning cycle for GCKR, ensuring thinking and high-quality output across quarterly and annual business reviews.
