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.

Within User Protection, the Content Safety Platform teams provide a reliable and scalable abuse fighting platform, protecting 77+ products from displaying malicious content.
- In this role, you will own and drive a roadmap to deliver abuse fighting capabilities used by all of Google.
Working closely with product and policy partners across Google, you will develop techniques to keep users safe across multiple products and user journeys, developing scalable solutions needed to meet these objectives.
As part of the User Protection Program Management team, you will create the fundamental building blocks of content abuse protections and all other Content Safety teams.

We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google.
These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer.
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.
**Responsibilities**:
- Work with partner teams (e.g., Engineers, Program Managers, UX) during product design and development to implement the requirements to turn Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for one or more teams.
- Develop and secure buy-in for a product vision that identifies, defines, and supports the overall product narrative and direction, achieving an outcome that is greater than the sum of its parts.
- Own cross-functional relationships working cross-Google to understand the needs of policy and product partners.
- Focus on landings, customer adoption and feedback to ensure our platforms are able to deliver high-quality and standardized user safety outcomes across Google's products.
