Whether you're on a consumer product (like Gmail, Search, Maps, Chrome,
Android) or a business product (Google Ads, AdSense, Google Marketing Platform, Analytics), you take part in a complete marketing experience as you lead every facet of the product's journey. From determining positioning, naming, competitive analysis, feature prioritization and external communications, you help shape the product and help it grow a consumer base. This means you work with a
cross-functional team across Sales, corporate communications, legal, webmasters, product development, engineering and more. In this role, you'll be involved with product marketing strategy from beginning to end.
As a Product Marketing Manager, you will serve as the technical authority for Networking Infrastructure, bridging engineering breakthroughs and customers. You will distill complex systems into narratives, influence product roadmaps, and drive Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy by building consensus across teams.
In this role, you will be the guardian of the product story. You will move beyond simple execution by establishing the technical and business rationale that guides our organization. By mastering the product, understanding the engaged landscape, and navigating a complex organizational matrix, you will influence stakeholders across Engineering, Product Management, and GTM teams to ensure that every message we take to market is clear, accurate, and compelling.
