As a Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi‑disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross‑functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It’s your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

App Ads is one of the fastest growing Ad products at Google, with $XXB in annual run rate and double digit growth Year over Year (YoY). The mission of the Mobile App Ads team strives to help great apps and customers find each other; we want to help a fitness app developer find runners, ensure a hot game app can find new engaged players, and help a retail app find users who want to buy a trendy coat. We do this through showing relevant ads on the various Google ads properties/networks including Google Play, Search, YouTube and AdMob. With App Campaigns, we use machine‑learning to automate targeting, bidding, and creatives to deliver the best Return on Investment (ROI) for app advertisers to achieve their business goals.

Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We’re made up of multiple teams, building Google’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics.

We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable Google to engage with customers at scale.
