About the job

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day.

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.

As the Product Manager (PM) for GVP and Walled Gardens, you will shape and execute the strategy for two of Display Network’s most strategically vital and high-growth investment areas: Google Video Partners (GVP) and Walled Garden publisher partnerships.

In this role, you will lead the evolution of GVP Brand by bridging core YouTube brand demand (video reach campaigns, video view campaigns, and YouTube shorts) with third-party publisher inventory. Simultaneously, you will drive technical and product integrations with major Walled Garden publishers, unlocking novel first-party signal pipelines, bespoke ad formats, and state-of-the-art bidding optimizations.

This is a high visibility role with direct line of sight to net-incremental business impact. You will collaborate closely with engineering, UX, legal, privacy, and sales teams across both Buyside and Sellside as well as YouTube.

Google Ads is at the forefront of AI innovation, applying cutting-edge machine learning and Generative AI models like Gemini to power a multi-billion dollar global business.

Our work directly impacts billions of users by protecting users from harm, improving ad quality, and optimizing campaigns for advertiser return-on-investment. We foster a culture of deep collaboration, partnering closely with teams like Google Research and DeepMind to solve complex challenges. Join us to work on state-of-the-art AI, take on problems at an unparalleled scale, and build the next generation of advertising technology.
