UX Manager, Messages Monetization and Protection

Google · Kirkland, WA, USA

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Design Manager, you will drive this vision by defining product strategy, mitigating complexity, and conceptualizing ecosystem-level UX. You are a systems-level thinker and a fierce advocate for both your users and your team.

You will be responsible for guiding the careers of your direct reports, helping them realize their full potential while fostering a culture of forward-thinking design. With a practiced eye for quality, you will transform complex workflows into elegantly simple experiences. You will collaborate closely with Engineering and Product Management leaders to align business goals with design innovation, leveraging your passion for brand, craft, and execution.

Messages is Google’s largest and fastest-growing texting app, approaching a user base of two billion. While we are building the future of modern messaging across the global ecosystem, we are in need for a design leader to run the Messages Monetization and Protection pillar (MMP).

As part of RCS for Business, you will lead the design team pioneering the next wave of global conversational commerce—enabling rich, interactive, and AI-driven shopping and customer experiences inside the native texting app for both Android and iOS users.
