About the role
As Director, Product Management for Google Design Platform (GDP), you will own the design systems that underlie all Google products. Your primary responsibility will be to lead GDP’s product mangement team to define the product and strategic direction, technical strategy, and roadmap to bring Google Design into the AI era.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 15 years of product management experience in technology organizations
- Experience with AI/LLM-driven workflows, agentic developer loops, or generative UI tooling
- Experience with front-end development and UI infrastructure (e.g., modern web/mobile frameworks, token architectures, build systems, developer tooling)
More about this role
- Define and execute the product roadmap for the next generation of Google Design systems and AI-driven tooling (GenUX, agentic dev loops) to dramatically elevate designer and developer velocity.
- Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Research and Program directors. Advocate for and operationalize the design vision, translating design intent and complex technical constraints into clear, high-quality roadmaps without overstepping into design arbitration.
- Operate GDP as a high-value service platform. Treat 1P product areas (Search, Gemini, Android, Workspace, etc.) as enterprise partners, driving adoption, reduction of integration friction, and measurable velocity gains rather than relying on top-down mandates.
- Distill complex technical and system strategies into simple, compelling mantras that align cross-functional partners and executive leadership.
- Establish a culture of rapid iteration and fearless accountability—avoiding multi-quarter planning traps by balancing fast, tangible developer wins with foundational platform bets.
