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 vision of the future of user experience and have the courage to pursue forward-thinking design.

In this role, you'll take the time to understand not just the execution side of UX, but also the business aspects of the products we build. You'll 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.

We design age-appropriate and enriching experiences for kids of all ages, across all YouTube apps. We are looking for a talented UX Design Manager to lead our Tween & Teen work streams. This role spans multiple areas across YouTube: viewing, participation, creation, ads and regulatory experiences. You'll navigate many stakeholders and design for many user groups.

We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun - and we do it all together.
