About the job:
At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s UX leaders help define and drive the future of Google design. They create and clarify product strategy, conceptualize UX ecosystems in ways that mitigate complexity, and inspire teams to push the boundaries of what’s possible. They possess a clear direction of the future of user experience and have the courage to pursue forward-thinking design. Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. You are a thoughtful team leader, manager, expert researcher, and visionary. You will be responsible for guiding the careers of your team members, working closely with each of them to help them realize their full potential. Quantitative UX Research Managers are fierce advocates for the people who use our products as well as the members of their teams. They’re experts at using data and quantitative analysis to shape product development and influence overall strategy. In this role, you will take the time to understand not just the execution side of UX, but also the business aspects of the products we build. You will collaborate with leaders of other UX, Engineering, and Product Management teams to create innovative experiences across all of Google’s products, leveraging your passion for brand, craft, and design quality.
