About the job
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.
Games Loyalty focuses on building deep lasting relationships between users, Play and the developers who create games on our platforms. We are at the start of an ambitious multi-year plan to drive substantial growth by building the tools, experiences, and infrastructure to supercharge gaming across Android and far beyond.
The Gamer Profile and Services teams own and run services that enable games to communicate directly with Play and build value by enhancing users’ journeys and the effectiveness of our products for developers. We power experiences such as seamless cross-device sign-in, quests and achievements, and leaderboards.
We will build on this strong foundation to create a suite of services that ease, excite, and ultimately enhance users’ gaming, not just while they play, but across their whole gaming lives.
