As the Senior Product Manager for Platform and UI Tools, you will guide the strategy for where and when promotional campaigns appear across all YouTube surfaces, including Home, Shorts, and Search. You will also advocate the evolution of internal campaign management systems to enable global teams to launch high-impact promotions at scale. In this role, you will manage and build a scaling strategy for a growing platform.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
