About the Job

Strategy & Operations (S&O) professionals in Google’s Marketing organization provide business critical insights and analytics, ensure cross-functional alignment of goals and execution, and help teams drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. Whether you are embedded within a specific marketing team to use insights to enable better marketing decisions or the global S&O function to equip the organization to succeed at scale, you will engage with Google leadership in order to establish Marketing’s strategic direction. You will manage planning and operational processes and work cross-functionally with key partners across Marketing, Product, Finance and Engineering to solve our toughest challenges, advocate for high-priority projects, and drive greater operational excellence within Marketing.

To be successful in this role, you have a hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving, effective quantitative and communication skills, and the ability to take on broad-reaching and ambiguous questions while working collaboratively and cross-functionally with Googlers of all levels.

As a Strategy and Operations Manager, you will work closely with the APAC and Japan Marketing leadership team to grow, scale, and run the organization more effectively. In this role, you will help run the business cadence (i.e., budgeting, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), planning, reviews), run strategic projects, and communicate strategy and decision-making to the management team and other key stakeholders.

In this role, you will take initiative, utilizing agile and creative problem solving skills, and build relationships and collaborate across functions.

This is a fixed-term contract.

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.

Responsibilities

• Work with the APAC and Japan Marketing leadership to set the Japan Marketing strategy, priorities, and OKRs. Communicate the strategy across the team and to the broader organization.
• Analyze the business and identify opportunities to improve our business for efficiency and effectiveness.
• Lead strategic projects, drive analysis, and define change management strategies to implement new initiatives.
• Serve as a strategic thought partner for Japan Marketing leadership, and help run key decision making processes and the business cadence.
• Ensure a high degree of aptitude and quality in all work.
