About the Job

Product and Business Strategy Leaders bring together teams across Google’s functions to help products execute optimally. 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.

In this role, you will be building and rolling out AI-enabled investigative solutions across product operations and the entire organization. Your work will be at the confluence of product, engineering, data, analytics, strategy and operations and technology. You will frequently interface with executive leaders across YouTube, and partner closely with cross-functional teams including Data Science, Product Management and Engineering. If you are motivated by the mission of leading through AI-powered problem-solving excellence and transforming how we work, this is a chance to make a profound and lasting impact.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $222000 - $309000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + bonus + equity + benefits
