Senior Strategy Manager, Education, Consumer Apps Marketing

Senior Strategy Manager

The Consumer Apps Marketing (CAM) Strategy and Operations (S&O) team is a nimble and entrepreneurial team responsible for setting marketing strategy, overseeing business operations and executive communications, and executing priority projects across the CAM organization, which covers 15+ Products/Initiatives—everything from AI to mature 1B+ products like Search. Our mission is to empower CAM leadership with the right strategy, processes, and infrastructure to run an effective and efficient organization.

As a Senior Strategy Manager, you will help craft the cross-Google EDU marketing strategy and support business operations. In this role, you will sit in CAM's central Strategy and Operations (S&O) team, but be embedded as a part of the dynamic EDU Marketing team.

Google's goal for EDU is to be the most innovative and helpful company in education by bringing AI solutions, like Gemini and Search, to students, teachers, and institutions, while supporting them with Workspace, Chromebooks, and Classroom. The EDU Marketing team plays a critical role in driving these ambitious business goals.

You will partner directly with the Senior Director of EDU Marketing and the CAM S&O leadership team, acting as a thought partner to shape the team's strategy and execute critical business priorities. You'll also act as the connective tissue with cross-functional partners (incl. Finance, Product, HR) to identify opportunities for collaboration and create efficiencies in how we work.

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.
