Group Product Manager, YouTube Platform Integrity

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.

One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. 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 team is part of the overall YouTube Trust and Safety team, which protects YouTube against community guidelines abuse and scaled/adversarial abuse (spam).

In this role, you will define the long-term strategy for securing official interfaces and preventing the unauthorized use of YouTube data. You will also partner with engineering and analyst teams to build and refine systems that detect and block attempts to inflate engagement numbers. You will also evaluate the success of integrity initiatives by measuring their impact on platform health, ensuring that protective measures do not hinder legitimate user experiences.

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.
