Designer, Creative Lab

The Creative Lab is a small team of designers, writers, programmers, filmmakers, producers and business thinkers whose mission is to remind the world what it is they love about Google. Our job is to make Google’s magic more magical, help advance and invent Google’s future, and to communicate Google’s innovations, intentions and ideals in ways that makes us all immensely proud.

We are seeking a multidisciplinary creative who is an AI enthusiast with a creative spark and a desire to shape the future of creative endeavors. This role calls for someone who thinks in pictures, motion, interactions, experiences, words and sound, comfortable designing a perfectly executed poster as well as designing how a new piece of technology might live in the world. You will be innovative and will be instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve in the world of creativity, user experience, and communications.

Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
