Job Title: Associate Product Marketing Manager, Access Marketing

Location: Lagos, Nigeria

About the Job

• Whether you're on a consumer product (like Gmail, Search, Maps, Chrome, Android) or a business product (Google Ads, AdSense, Google Marketing Platform, Analytics), you take part in a complete marketing experience as you lead every facet of the product's journey. From determining positioning, naming, competitive analysis, feature prioritization and external communications, you help shape the voice of the product and help it grow a consumer base. This means you work with a cross-functional team across Sales, corporate communications, legal, webmasters, product development, engineering and more. In this role, you'll be involved with product marketing strategy from beginning to end.
• As an Associate Product Marketing Manager (APMM) within the Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) Access Marketing team, you will help people access the internet and come online across the region, building and growing relationships, and working with diverse partners (e.g., original equipment manufacturer, app developers). You'll also deliver campaigns and trainings, drive usage, and support our cross-functional teams to build scaled approaches to engage Android partners in the region.
• In this role, you will be part of the APMM Program, Google’s global, early-career program. As the start of your career in Marketing at Google, the APMM Program provides the skills you will need to become an excellent digital Marketer. You will participate in learning and development; travel internationally to learn more about our business in global markets; gain exposure to different products, Marketing functions, and/or global locations; and networking across Marketing. We are a diverse group of self-starters with backgrounds ranging from biology to sociology. We're analytical and creative and contribute, and execute on, innovative ideas.
• 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.
