Social Intelligence Manager, Brand Social

In this role, you connect social signals to human behavior, distinguish meaningful shifts from momentary noise, and turn those community insights into clear, actionable direction for marketing, creative and product teams. You live in social conversation daily, helping us manage issues and opportunities as they arise, while driving marketing’s larger understanding of cultural shifts.

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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
