As the Director of Devices and Services Marketing for the UK and Ireland (UKI), you will be responsible for defining and delivering the consumer and commercial marketing strategy across our hardware and services portfolio, including Pixel, Home & Health, and Gemini-powered features. You will drive brand love, consumer consideration, and commercial performance in one of Google’s most critical commercial markets.
In this role, you will lead end-to-end go-to-market execution, integrating brand activations with retail, carrier, and digital sales channels.

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.
