You will be a partnership manager with a thoughtful, strategic approach to how we partner, and you possess a global perspective.At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.Responsibilities:
- Define partnership strategy to help achieve YouTube's Shopping goals, starting with the creator business generation.
- Partner with brands and retailers to close agreements and drive engagement with new product features and marketing activations.
- Become a domain expert and thought leader for your areas, understanding unique market dynamics and engaged landscapes.
