About the job

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day.

In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.

One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.

In this role, you will plan, execute, and manage the Kubernetes networking portfolio across GKE and GDC: cluster networking (e.g., CNI and dataplane, IP allocation), network services (e.g., ingress, LBs), network security and observability. You'll define and lead a multi-year product roadmap, balancing short- and long-term goals and investments. You will drive adoption, business growth, and other success metrics, and build scalable go-to-market models with Sales and partners. You'll support the technical relationship with Google’s customers, qualify business opportunities, and develop a strategy to resolve technical blockers.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

  • Work with partner teams (e.g., Engineers, Program Managers, UX) during product design and development to implement the requirements to turn Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for one or more teams.
  • Define product roadmaps by operationalizing strategy. 
  • Develop and secure buy-in for a product strategy that identifies, defines, and supports the overall product narrative and direction, achieving an outcome that is greater than the sum of its parts.
  • Validate the market size and opportunity (e.g., user-based, strategic opportunity, business growth).
  • Drive launches, maintenance, and retirement in collaboration with other cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
