About the job

As a Marketing Insights Manager at Google, you develop and implement research studies that provide foundational learning to inform business/product strategy, product development, as well as insights/measurement to inform and measure GTM (go-to-market) strategy and campaigns. You understand consumers, and have the ability to link insights to strategy and translate complex ideas into simple and intuitive communications. You are also a thought leader who is curious and passionate about data. You know how to get the best out of vendors/agencies and you manage workload by balancing future logistical and strategic needs.

In order to build excellent products and tell great stories, we must first profoundly understand our audiences - what motivates them, why they think and behave the way they do, etc. The Consumer Apps Marketing Research and Insights team is at the heart of developing this understanding.

As a Research and Insights Manager, you’ll be embedded with the Gemini Marketing team and establish a deep understanding of their audience and category landscape to inform marketing strategy. You'll also work closely with others to streamline research requests, synthesize common themes, and identify and address organizational blind spots.

You will primarily partner with Gemini Marketing and cross-functional Googlers (including S&O, UX Researchers, PMs) to identify business challenges that can benefit from deeper user understanding. You'll design and execute a market research plan, partner with external vendors and summarize new and existing knowledge to inform marketing and cross-product strategy decisions, manage stakeholder relationships, stay informed on Marketing priorities, and scope syntheses/studies to support stakeholder discussions.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $130,000-$194,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Share research findings and insights via presentations in forums large and small, with everyone from junior to senior executive staff.
