About the job

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Design Manager, you will drive this vision by defining product strategy, mitigating complexity, and conceptualizing ecosystem-level UX. You are a systems-level thinker and a fierce advocate for both your users and your team.

You will be responsible for guiding the careers of your direct reports, helping them realize their full potential while fostering a culture of forward-thinking design. With a practiced eye for quality, you will transform complex workflows into elegantly simple experiences. You will collaborate closely with Engineering and Product Management leaders to align business goals with design innovation, leveraging your passion for brand, craft, and execution.

In this role, your purview will span high-engagement Google surfaces-specifically Google Discover and Gmail. You will collaborate with many cross-functional partners and stakeholders, the Discover team, the Gmail team, and the broader Ads UX organization in innovating and producing novel ad formats and experiences that seamlessly engage the consumers and excite the advertisers. We are in the midst of exploring the role that generative AI can play in personalized content feeds and communication surfaces, and you will be working with the team at the epicenter of determining what incredible new benefits that technology can bring to our users' lives. We are looking for a strong, visionary leader who can simultaneously establish strategy and drive execution.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products. 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.
