About the job
The Events and Experiences team brings the magic of Google to life through physical experiences that make our brand tangible, human, and shareable. You will collaborate across teams and departments to create delightful, one-of-a-kind experiences that leave a lasting impression.
In this role, you will produce quality content for Google’s highest profile events in the U.S. and globally. You will nurture and build relationships with external partners and thought leaders that will foster connections with the Google brand, further conversations around Google’s values, and strengthen partnerships around Google’s ideas and products. You will serve as a subject matter expert and consult with teams across Google on speaker and content strategy. You will manage high profile individuals (both internally and externally) as well as live events.
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.
