About the job

As a Research Manager, you will be embedded with the Gemini Marketing team, managing end-to-end research projects to help inform product launch and strategy perspectives for our consumer-facing AI products. Managing stakeholder relationships, staying informed on marketing priorities, and scoping quick-turn studies to support strategy discussions will be an integral part of your role. You will also manage the global brand tracker, and infuse your understanding of user perspectives to add context to trends and provide actionable recommendations on marketing and product opportunities.

The key responsibilities include serving as the lead point-of-contact with the research agency, surfacing common themes across markets, highlighting country-specific nuances and their implications, and socializing findings with internal stakeholders. This is a unique role that requires sound understanding of user behaviors, a genuine interest in emerging technology and the ability to influence with meaningful insights.

As a secondary focus area, you will also partner across the Research and Insights team to ensure findings are scaled and efforts are de-duped where relevant. This will include regularly sharing research and learning plans and collaborating on synthesized point of view for marketing leadership.

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.
