About the job
The Creative Lab is a small team of designers, writers, programmers, filmmakers, producers and business thinkers whose mission is to remind the world what it is they love about Google. Our job is to make Google’s magic more magical, help advance and invent Google’s future, and to communicate Google’s innovations, intentions and ideals in ways that makes us all immensely proud.
As the Senior Editor in the Creative Lab, you work day-to-day to develop stories in conjunction with a group of multi-disciplined creatives. You will be making something from nothing. The brief could be a paragraph of copy from a writer or an informal conversation with a marketer who sparked an exciting idea. Taking casual and formal cues, you will be prepared to fill in the visual gaps with an edit or animation. While the early prototype may be a rough-cut, you will take shared human experiences and demonstrate a fresh approach with a unique perspective. You will communicate ideas with an editorial framework that elevates Google's brand message and sometimes demystifies emerging technologies and concepts. You will work on a range of initiatives and outputs from feature innovation to product launches and tech explainers. Projects will sometimes be small and scrappy and other times larger in scale and reach. No matter the extent, your creative output will be grounded in excellence and storytelling techniques. Your job is to incorporate your personal and professional experiences, propose creative solutions and push for meaningful outcomes.
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.
