Brand Studio is focused on building the Google brand. By combining user insights, strategic thinking, beautiful design and storytelling, our team creates a wide range of work that drives Google’s reputation for being helpful to people, businesses, and communities. Our work also aims to build advocacy and trust in the brand. To achieve that, we’re a multidisciplinary team of marketers, strategists, insights specialists, creatives, producers, and engineers who work together to create exceptional marketing.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design components for the major brand moments. You will help establish the design standards for Brand Studio’s major brand marketing campaigns in collaboration with multidisciplinary creative teams. You will partner closely with Design Leads to ensure our work is creatively excellent, strategically sound, and aligned with brand standards. At the same time, you will continue to push the creative boundaries to match the fast-evolving pace of our products.

The Senior Designer brings brand storytelling to life through both designing themselves and with a team of visual and motions designers. They ensure the work is aesthetically beautiful, deliverables are completed on time and messaging is clear across all campaign touchpoints. They will obsess over the details and help a talented team of designers do the same through leading by example. You will have experience overseeing a team as well as capable of stepping in and crafting the work themselves.

Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
