Director, Product Management, Google Design Platform

• 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.

Minimum qualifications:

• 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).

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience defining and scaling platform-level products, developer tools, or design systems at global scale.
• Experience navigating B2B or internal platform service models (influence without direct authority across independent business units).
• Experience with multi-product design systems (e.g., Material Design) and large-scale framework migrations.
• Demonstrated ability to drive strategic programs and execute with speed in a highly matrixed, cross-functional service environment.
• Authentic appreciation and eye for design craft, typography, motion, and interaction design.
• Proven track record of managing, mentoring, and growing product management teams.
