Job description

Product and Business Strategy Leaders bring together teams across Google’s functions to help products execute optimally. Our team pushes Google to scale at key points that refine our products and infrastructure by executing efficiently, bringing solid business sense and sound judgment, and working effectively across organizational lines.

Our roles often include components of strategy (e.g. analyzing and understanding new trends in the industry, building business plans), operations (e.g. running the cadence of organizations, connecting the operating lines between our functions), and communications. Our team partners with senior leadership to run important functions that cross-cut our existing organizations and deliver high impact projects. We help Engineers, PMs, UX, and all of our other functions to build amazing products that delight our users, and then get those products into their hands.

As a Strategy Lead in the Play and Developer Ecosystem strategy team you are responsible for supporting leadership in making strategically sound decisions on a wide range of topics that materially affect the strategic position and business performance of Play in the context of the Android Ecosystem. You will focus on two areas: the Apps vertical (all non-game apps on Play) and the horizontal platform, including our Payments solutions and agentic capabilities. You will develop expertise in these areas and apply this expertise to pro‑actively identify challenges and opportunities, translate those into strategy projects, and drive these projects in collaboration with team members and cross‑functional teams across Android and Play. To do this, you will develop trusted relationships with key stakeholders in these areas, and provide strategic insights and recommendations that set up Play for continued success.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job‑related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
