As a leader on one of the largest design teams within Google, you will foster a vibrant culture of creativity that attracts and retains exceptional designers, and you will nurture teams where diversity of background and perspective is celebrated. You will move effortlessly between the high level strategic POV and the tiny details that make the difference. You will inspire teams and partners alike to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
