Business Operations Lead, Core, AI Enablement

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.

The Business Operations and Strategy team at Google plays a critical role in defining and driving operational and organizational improvements across the company. The team, also known as "BizOps" (Business Operations), operates like an internal consulting group working on a range of critical projects and issues including a core emphasis on driving Google's AI enablement efforts.

Google's leadership team hand-picks thorny business issues, and members of BizOps work in small teams to find solutions. These include shaping how we go to market with generative AI, defining and executing our strategy on company-wide priorities like transforming Google into the world’s first AI-native enterprise, developing monetization strategies across our consumer and busines-to-business (B2B) products, and exploring “moonshots” to find the next big idea. BizOps is at the forefront of Google's changing priorities, addressing operational issues and enabling innovation.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
