As a Strategic Partner Development Manager, Print Content Partnerships you have an exciting opportunity to apply and hone business skills (e.g. business development, marketing, and strategy) in an environment that is entrepreneurial. This operating role will appeal to aspiring general managers, as it provides exposure to multiple functional disciplines (e.g. Product Management, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Operations).

Managers are creative, results-oriented individuals with a passion for Google, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

• Initiate, structure, and negotiate high impact strategic content partnerships at CXO level.
• Represent Google to the media and at industry events and be the ambassador for the company in discussions with key accounts and prospects.
