Product and Business Strategy Leaders bring together teams across Google’s functions to help products execute optimally. Our team pushes Google to scale at key points that refine our products and infrastructure by executing efficiently, bringing solid business sense and sound judgment, and working effectively across organizational lines.
Our roles often include components of strategy (e.g. analyzing and understanding new trends in the industry, building business plans), operations (e.g. running the cadence of organizations, connecting the operating lines between our functions), and communications. Our team partners with senior leadership to run important functions that cross-cut our existing organizations and deliver high impact projects. We help Engineers, PMs, UX, and all of our other functions to build amazing products that delight our users, and then get those products into their hands.
Google’s Platforms and Ecosystems Product Area develops products that help users around the world access and enjoy the benefits of computing. Our core products such as Android, Chrome, and Google Play span large and diverse ecosystems of component and device manufacturers, software developers, mobile network operators, distributors, and more.
The Mission of the Android and Play Strategy team is to proactively drive a strategic agenda and align priorities to create a winning and sustainable Android platform and ecosystem.
The Android and Play Strategy team identifies strategic questions and opportunities related to the growth and business models of our Android and Play platforms and products. As a part of this, we define strategies for the stewardship of these ecosystems in a rapidly changing and complex environment including evolving regulatory frameworks for our products.
The Platforms and Ecosystems product area encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications). The products provide enterprises, and ultimately end users, the ability to utilize and manage their services at scale. We build innovative and compelling software products—from apps to TVs, from laptops to phones—that have an impact on people’s lives across the world.
