Product Manager II, YouTube Shorts Gen AI Creation

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.

We are transforming YouTube with new creation experiences and tools that are fun, inspiring, and make things possible only on YouTube and at its scale. We believe YouTube should be the best place for anyone to tell their story and be their most creative, and we have set an ambitious goal to continue to grow the number of creators on YouTube in the next several years. Creation tools no longer only help a creator produce content but increasingly are the sources for inspiration and creativity. Now with Generative AI, we have an expanded opportunity to empower our billions users to create and tell their story to the world.

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. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
