About the job

Businesses that partner with Google come in all shapes, sizes and market caps, and no one Google advertising solution works for all. Your knowledge of online media combined with your communication skills and analytical abilities shapes how new and existing businesses grow. Using your relationship-building skills, you provide Google-caliber client service, research and market analysis. You anticipate how decisions are made, persistently explore and uncover the business needs of Google's key clients and understand how our range of product offerings can grow their business. Working with them, you set the vision and the strategy for how their advertising can reach thousands of users.

YouTube, YouTube Shorts and Demand Gen have an exciting role to play within this market, with more consumer time spent than other channels, a thriving and trusted creator ecosystem and an incredible mixture of formats (Short /Long, Mobile/TV) to help brands successfully deliver against a number of marketing outcomes.

The Social Video Team (which will be part of the YouTube Specialist Team) is a talented and aspiring team who will incubate, codify and scale our sales strategy, and helping to showcase YouTube’s role within the ads market.

In this role, you will be responsible for scaling activation of critical sales strategies to help the Google sales teams at large activate the opportunity. You will be responsible for working across the UK to refine and execute our go-to-market sales strategy to help grow advertiser and agency budgets by demonstrating YouTube’s USPs (Unique Selling Propositions) and value proposition within the market.

Our Large Customer Sales teams partner closely with many of the world’s biggest advertisers and agencies to develop digital solutions that build businesses and brands. We enjoy a bird’s eye view on the massive transformation occurring as advertising shifts to mobile and online platforms. We're uniquely situated to help shape how companies grow their businesses in the digital age. We advise clients on Google's broad range of products across search, video and mobile to help them connect instantly and seamlessly with their audiences.

  • Share and scale best practices, learnings, and sales strategies, such as objection handling, pitching, and compete tactics to upscale accounts and align solutions with customer and Google business needs. 
  • Resolve and address tactical tests that impede growth. Develop a feedback loop with a product to provide a view for success.
  • Collaborate with Internal stakeholders to block and address detractors and drive growth, realising business outcomes.
