About The Job

Strategy & Operations (S&O) professionals in Google’s Marketing organization provide business critical insights and analytics, ensure cross-functional alignment of goals and execution, and help teams drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. Whether you are embedded within a specific marketing team to use insights to enable better marketing decisions or the global S&O function to equip the organization to succeed at scale, you will engage with Google leadership in order to establish Marketing’s strategic direction. You will manage planning and operational processes and work cross-functionally with key partners across Marketing, Product, Finance and Engineering to solve our toughest challenges, advocate for high-priority projects, and drive greater operational excellence within Marketing.

To be successful in this role, you have a hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving, effective quantitative and communication skills, and the ability to take on broad-reaching and ambiguous questions while working collaboratively and cross-functionally with Googlers of all levels.

The Google Cloud Marketing (GCM) Strategy and Ops team holds a central position within Google Cloud Marketing, assuming key business roles. The team advises the CMO, leadership, and cross-functional marketing teams; partners with senior leaders on strategic direction; facilitates operational excellence; allocates and manages resources to support GCM’s primary goals; drives measurement and performance management; engages key partners across Google; and maintains stakeholder alignment on progress.

This specific team's mission is to lead the leadership team by designing, building, and implementing an integrated Rhythm of Business (RoB) and Annual Planning program that is the vehicle to optimize leadership connection, decision making, and alignment to accelerate performance.

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.
