About the job

Google's line of products and services to clients never stops growing. Strategy & Operations Managers have the rare opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with our top partners. You cultivate these existing partnerships to make sure they can take full advantage of Google's ever-growing suite of offerings. You possess strong relationship-building skills and are apt to see mutually beneficial opportunities with partners in order to best represent our users, products and programs.

The Partnerships Solutions & Go-to-Market (PSGTM) team in Global Partnerships provides Strategy & Operations, Go-To-Market, and Industry solutions support to Global Partnerships (GP). We focus on driving the transformation required to build the world's best partnerships team, and serve as the foundation enabling our Global Partnerships team to function at its best. Our team provides strategic insights and thought leadership on key topics, advises business leaders on vertical strategy and organizational design, helps drive business operations and efficiency, builds executive narratives, and supports product commercialization.

We’re looking for an outstanding Strategy & Operations practitioner to partner with GP’s SGCA EMEA team (Search, Geo, Commerce, Ads) to help develop priorities, build go-to-market strategies, and influence key decisions.

In order to deliver on these goals, you will be comfortable doing many things in parallel - thinking critically about strategic issues, framing key decisions and building consensus around them, building relationships with senior stakeholders, performing quantitative analyses, and generally being a strategic thought partner playing both the role of advocate and challenger.

Google’s Global Partnerships team powers extraordinary user experiences through partnerships that solve users’ needs, advance our partners’ goals, and further Google’s mission. Our team provides meaningful solutions — from helping publishers and developers grow their businesses through monetization solutions, to helping our long-term partners anticipate and navigate change in a way that delivers economic and reputational value. We build and distribute products through partnerships across a multitude of product areas, including Ads, Search & Assistant, Geo, Platforms & Ecosystems, Devices & Services, Health, Retail, Payments, Next Billion Users, and more. We collaborate across Google, ensuring a coordinated approach when engaging with our most complex and strategic partners.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to drive support on strategic and operational initiatives that enable our partnerships goals across multiple Google product areas.
• Drive critical analysis and recommendations on highest priority topics and escalations related to partnership/GTM strategy across all our products and solutions.
• Provide day-to-day strategy and operations support to senior leaders in the Global Partnerships organization.
• Develop clear, simple and persuasive internal and external communications to influence senior stakeholders.
