Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the Experience: Lead the conceptualization and execution of experiences such as on-device demos for new product launches (Pixel, Nest, Fitbit). You will turn technical specs into "show, don’t tell" experiences that prove the product’s value instantly.
  • User-Centric Pragmatism: Balance "big vision" creative thinking with the realities of consumer engagement. Design experiences that are robust enough for thousands of interactions yet simple enough to engage a user in seconds.
  • UX/UI Leadership: Direct teams of interactive designers, motion designers, and creative technologists. Ensure every swipe, tap, and transition meets the highest standards of craft and usability.
  • Partner with Product: Collaborate deeply with Google’s hardware and marketing teams. You must be comfortable navigating complex stakeholder maps (Marketing, Product, Brand) to align creative vision with product roadmaps.
  • Push the Possible: Challenge the status quo of standard marketing features. Innovate how we showcase AI and software features in ways that feel magical, not mechanical.
  • Present with Authority: Lead client presentations with clarity and conviction. You are the expert in the room, guiding clients from the "what" to the "how".
  • AI Optimist: Embrace AI tools to supercharge your team’s workflow—from rapid UI prototyping to generative content creation. You don’t just design for AI products; you design with AI tools.

Requirements

  • Experience: 10+ years of creative experience with a focus on digital, interactive, design or product marketing. At least 3+ years in a leadership role managing multidisciplinary teams.
  • Deep UX/UI Fluency: You have a portfolio that demonstrates deep expertise in user experience and interface design. Product design experience is a significant plus.
  • Tech/Marketing Pedigree: Experience working with major tech clients or launching products via interactive marketing platforms is highly preferred. You understand the consumer journey and how to interrupt and engage it effectively.
  • Maker Mindset: You are hands-on. You can jump into Figma and other tools/platforms, not just to fix, but to demonstrate an idea.
  • Tech-Savvy: A strong understanding of hardware capabilities, software constraints, and the opportunities within the Android ecosystem.
