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 inspire teams to push the boundaries of what’s possible. They possess a clear goal of the future of user experience and have the courage to pursue forward-thinking design.

Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. You are a thoughtful team leader, manager, systems-level design thinker, and visionary—with strong instincts and outstanding intuition informed by user needs and insights.

In this role, you will drive productivity tools to empower people creating, collaborating, and communicating.

Our mission is to meaningfully connect people so they can create, build, and grow together and as part of the team you can build how productivity tools should work 5‑10 years into the future.
