About the Job

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Design Manager, you will drive this vision by defining product strategy, mitigating complexity, and conceptualizing ecosystem-level UX. You are a systems-level thinker and a fierce advocate for both your users and your team.

You will be responsible for guiding the careers of your direct reports, helping them realize their full potential while fostering a culture of forward-thinking design.

You will collaborate closely with Engineering and Product Management leaders to align business goals with design innovation, leveraging your passion for brand, craft, and execution.

As a Senior UX Design Manager at Google One, you will lead two core missions: acquiring backup users and helping them discover the value of a Google One subscription.

In this role, you will shape design by defining product strategy, conceptualizing ecosystems that mitigate complexity, and inspiring teams. As a UX leader, you will mentor a team helping them achieve their potential while creating simple experiences from complex workflows.
