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.

Google Drive crossed a billion human users; our next billion users will be AI agents. We are on a mission to transition Drive from a static repository of files into an active execution partner and the context, storage, and governance bedrock of the agent era. On the Next Billion Agents pillar, we treat first-party and third-party agents as first-class users while keeping humans safely in control. As work shifts from single documents to multi-file trees and parallel agentic workflows, our team builds the foundational rails that let humans and agents collaborate at machine speed: Drive’s model context protocol platform and semantic retrieval, multiplayer agent attribution and comment collaboration, least-privilege folder sandboxing, agent skills and project extensibility, and rich HTML/Markdown artifact experiences.

AI will change the future of work in profound ways, and our products— Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Vids and Meet are at the forefront. From pre-computed summaries for email threads, summaries for meetings, and videos created from a document using lifelike AI avatars, our AI opportunity is huge. Our mission is to meaningfully connect people so they can create, build, and grow together and as part of the team you can build how productivity tools should work 5-10 years into the future. You will work with model builders (Google DeepMind), work with exceptional leaders, and have the ability to impact billions of users across the world. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $192000 - $278000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits
