About the job

Businesses that partner with Google come in all shapes, sizes and market caps, and no one Google advertising solution works for all. Your knowledge of online media combined with your communication skills and analytical abilities shapes how new and existing businesses grow. Using your relationship-building skills, you provide Google-caliber client service, research and market analysis. You anticipate how decisions are made, persistently explore and uncover the business needs of Google's key clients and understand how our range of product offerings can grow their business. Working with them, you set the vision and the strategy for how their advertising can reach thousands of users.

Video Enablement Team (VET) is a group of talented brand builders and believers who work directly on YouTube and our Video platforms. Our role is to provoke, inspire, and simplify the complex world of digital brand building by bringing the advertisers we work with data driven insights and cross-industry expertise meant to accelerate their businesses.

The team has expertise across brand, creative, media orchestration, and measurement strategy and sales. In this role, you will work closely with Google's largest brand advertisers and Google's internal Large Customer Sales (LCS) team to transform the way they build brands on YouTube and across our video platforms. You will act as a thought-leader in brand strategy, a creative inspiration for brand solutions, an innovator in new media strategy, a gold mine of consumer insights, and an expert in all things YouTube and Video.

Our Large Customer Sales teams partner closely with many of the world's biggest advertisers and agencies to develop digital solutions that build businesses and brands. We enjoy a bird's eye view on the massive transformation occurring as advertising shifts to mobile and online platforms. We're uniquely situated to help shape how companies grow their businesses in the digital age. We advise clients on Google's broad range of products across search, video and mobile to help them connect instantly and seamlessly with their audiences.

• Partner with Account Managers and Executives to execute a plan and drive video business through strategic thinking to support the go-to-market approach.
  
• Identify new strategic opportunities for YouTube to drive incremental impact in the market including Connected TV, Demand Gen, and future forms of media consumption.
