About the job

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 such as changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself. Anchored in help, a PMM’s job is to understand how Google's products and services can (and should) solve consumers’ problems.

In this role, you will play a pivotal role in the complete marketing experience. From early stage analysis (engaged analysis, determining who the consumer we are building for is, the insights about them, and the solutions they need), to product marketing strategy (positioning, product and feature definition, naming, feature prioritization) to launching the product (briefing brand and creative teams, managing creative reviews, developing consumer launch narratives, and more), you will ensure the consumer is represented along the entire journey. This means working closely with a cross-functional team across Consumer Marketing, Product Management, UX, Design, Engineering, GTM, Business, Consumer Insights and Analytics, Product Planning, PR, Legal, Events and Experiences, and more with a concrete set of deliverables along the way.The US base salary range for this full-time position is $114,000-$163,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
