Job Description

About the Role

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day. In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc., to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users. The auction is the heart of our Search Ads business, a highly sophisticated system that decides which ads are shown for a given query, how these ads are ranked, and how much advertisers pay per click. We are a data-driven team with a user-focused mindset, dedicated to showing relevant and helpful ads that meet user needs while driving value for advertisers. Our mission is to ensure a high-quality user experience on Search Ads, focusing on long-term benefits for users, advertisers, and the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive development and secure buy-in for a product goal that identifies, defines, and supports the overall product narrative and direction, achieving an outcome that is greater than the sum of its parts.
  • Lead and harmonize processes to define, identify, collect, and track appropriate product or business metrics, both quantitative and qualitative for new or existing products or business ventures.
  • Develop deep insights of user and advertiser needs and translate these insights into product requirements.
  • Manage validation of market size and opportunity (e.g., user-based, strategic opportunity, business).

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8 years of experience in product management or related technical role.
  • 3 years of experience taking technical products from conception to launch.
  • Experience with ranking recommendation, content retrieval systems, or machine learning model development.

Nice to Have

  • Master's degree in a technology or business related field.
  • 5 years of experience working cross-functionally with engineering, UX/UI, sales, finance, and other stakeholders.
  • 4 years of experience in a role preparing and delivering technical presentations to executive leadership.
  • Experience with auction theory and related disciplines (e.g., game theory).
  • Experience with Ads Quality products.
  • Ability to communicate complex topics and switch between high-level concerns (strategy, macroeconomic effects) and low-level issues in conversation.

Qualifications

  • Educational background includes a Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits & Perks

  • US base salary range for this full-time position is $183,000-$271,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.
  • Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
  • Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
