About the job
In Geo, our mission is to assist people as they navigate and explore the world, wherever they are, through consumer apps such as Google Maps that serve billions of users. Geo Enterprise extends Geo’s mission by empowering millions of businesses and developers with real-world platforms and solutions that help people navigate, explore, and get things done in the real world with Google Maps Platform (GMP).

Geo Enterprise partners closely with both Google’s consumer product teams, as well as Google Cloud Platform to provide the best possible experience for users. As a Director of Product Management for Geo Enterprise, you will lead the overall Geo Enterprise data platform and Cloud solutions. Our GMP offerings are built with reliable comprehensive data for over 200 countries and territories and that keeps up with changing world through 50 million edits per day from billion plus users. You will partner closely with Geo consumer teams to develop and implement thoughtful platform strategies that reimagine and solve our customer’s use cases for data. You will do so while ensuring we treat all data with highest care and stewardship through aligning ecosystem incentives and developing enabling technologies.
Geo builds the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users. More than a billion people rely on Google Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives. That includes sailing down the Amazon river, choosing where to get a bite of pizza, and saving time in commuting.
Geo also helps merchants get their businesses on Google, and developers use the power of Google Maps to enhance their apps and websites. They are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving the accuracy of our geo data, all in order to plot a course for the future of mapping.
