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.

You'll be the accountable product manager for important experiences and infrastructure where users make some of their most important privacy decisions. Our work is interesting and complex, requiring PMs to navigate challenging user experiences, complex legal and policy requirements, and real impact to Google's organic and ads experience.

As a product manager on this team, you'll work closely with dedicated cross-functional teams (engineering, design, research, writers, and PgM) to develop and evolve user experiences used by all Google users and respond to evolving legal/regulatory requirements. Your stakeholders will include some of Google’s most important product areas (including, YouTube, Search, and Ads).

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products.

We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
