ABOUT THE JOB:

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need

Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products

that affect millions of people every day.

In this role, you will

work cross-functionally to guide products from conception
to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down
complex problems into steps that drive product development.
One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing
products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product
Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers,
marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to
the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the
execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging,
promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.

In this role, you will

own evolving Google Wallet to support a complete
"In-Store Mode" that transforms the Wallet from a passive repository into an
active shopping assistant through a suite of intelligent features. You will own
the mission to realize this by leading standardized protocols to ensure seamless
cross-platform interoperability for credential sharing, forging strategic
partnerships with leading Point-of-Sale (POS) providers, and building unified
technology that eliminates friction at the register.
Whether it is paying online with Autofill, using tap and pay in stores, or using
the Google Pay app, the Payments team at Google is focused on making payments
simple, seamless, and secure. In addition to consumer payment technologies, the
Payments team also powers the money movement between Google and its consumers
and businesses.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
experience, and relevant education or training.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Architect the "In-Store Mode" experience by designing a smart, contextual
interface that activates when a user arrives at a physical merchant to
surface available savings and reminders.
* Drive contextual value discovery by synthesizing available offers stored
directly in the user's wallet to remind users of items and relevant
preferences.
* Optimize seamless checkout by building a frictionless user experience to
convey discovered credentials to the POS terminal, and integrate intelligent
dynamic recommendations to maximize user value and rewards.
* Define the loyalty and re-engagement lifecycle by designing the user
mechanics for instant merchant loyalty program enrollment and
post-transaction incentive loops.
* Define and execute the POS strategy by creating an open-protocol framework,
driving open standards adoption across industry groups to ensure cross-wallet
interoperability.
