  • About the job

    As a Marketing Insights Manager at Google, you develop and implement research studies that provide foundational learning to inform business/product strategy, product development, as well as insights/measurement to inform and measure GTM (go-to-market) strategy and campaigns. You understand consumers, and have the ability to link insights to strategy and translate complex ideas into simple and intuitive communications. You are also a thought leader who is curious and passionate about data. You know how to get the best out of vendors/agencies and you manage workload by balancing future logistical and strategic needs.

    As a Research Manager on this team of research experts, you'll integrate into one or more K&I product marketing teams and be responsible for executing new research about consumer perceptions and behaviors as well as synthesizing existing research into actionable insights that equip the team to develop a successful marketing strategy.

    You will set and execute a market research plan for product marketing and manage relationships with cross functional Googlers and external vendors to deliver an insights-led thought leadership program. You will scope, recommend, design and initiate research and synthesis work and conduct global qualitative and quantitative research that informs cross-product strategies. It is imperative that you have breadth and depth of experience recommending and applying many different research techniques. You will be sharing what you know on a regular basis, in forums large and small, with everyone from junior to senior executive staff.

    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.
