Job summary

Google seeks a Director of Product Management for the Google Design Platform to define the vision, strategy, and roadmap to bring Google Design into the AI era, balancing design craft with technology and a high-influence service model.

You will collaborate with GDP Design, Engineering, Research and Program Management Directors to evolve design systems and AI-powered workflows, driving broad adoption across Google Product Areas such as Gemini, Search, Workspace, Android and YouTube.

Qualifications

• 15 years of product management experience in technology organizations.
• Experience with AI/LLM-driven workflows, agentic developer loops, or generative UI tooling.
• Experience with front-end development and UI infrastructure (e.g., modern web/mobile frameworks, token architectures, build systems, developer tooling).

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the product roadmap for the next generation of Google Design systems and AI-driven tooling (GenUX, agentic dev loops) to dramatically elevate designer and developer velocity.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Research and Program directors. Advocate for and operationalize the design vision, translating design intent and complex technical constraints into clear, high-quality roadmaps without overstepping into design arbitration.
• Operate GDP as a high-value service platform. Treat 1P product areas (Search, Gemini, Android, Workspace, etc.) as enterprise partners, driving adoption, reduction of integration friction, and measurable velocity gains rather than relying on top-down mandates.
• Distill complex technical and system strategies into simple, compelling mantras that align cross-functional partners and executive leadership.
• Establish a culture of rapid iteration and fearless accountability—avoiding multi-quarter planning traps by balancing fast, tangible developer wins with foundational platform bets.
