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.

As a Product Manager within YouTube Trust and Safety, you will advocate initiatives targeting Creator and Community Abuse. You will lead efforts to define, detect and prevent scalable malicious activity driven by adversarial actors across our platform. By detecting classical adversarial behavior, you will enforce against bad actors before they can inject harmful content and cause viewer harm on the platform. Additionally, you will analyze emerging risk vectors and shape product road maps to advance our safety initiatives.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process.

We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
