　　About the job

　　This role sits at the heart of Policy Marketing, collaborating closely with Global Affairs and Public Policy. Beyond supporting policy perspectives crucial to Google's consumer apps (Search, Bard), this team drives a narrative on AI, privacy, and more, for policymakers.

　　As a Research Manager, you'll integrate seamlessly, infusing your deep understanding of "Key Opinion Formers" (KOFs or policymakers) into marketing strategies. You'll manage the Policy marketing research plan, focusing on the US while collaborating on global KOF audiences. This is a unique role with the obligation of looking across multiple products and policy topics. You will manage the market research plan for the Policy marketing team with a specific emphasis on the US with strong collaboration on global KOF audiences. As a cross-functional thought partner, you will ensure our measurement strategies are focused on the most appropriate metrics to gauge the effectiveness of our Policy marketing.

　　Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
