We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.

In this role, you will be focused on growing YouTube into a premier destination for global Live Sports, Entertainment, and Cultural moments. You will define and execute a multi-year roadmap for Live Events, across our sports and entertainment partnerships (e.g., NFL, FIFA, Oscars). This is a high-visibility, zero-to-one leadership opportunity requiring a blend of platform-scale thinking and consumer-product intuition.
