Google Store (store.google.com) is the online retail destination for hardware made by Google (e.g. Pixel phones, Nest products, and others), and our team is uniquely placed to collaborate with marketing/brand teams as well as product and engineering teams evolving a site already operating in numerous countries. The Google Store UX team is co-located with PM, Eng and Retail Marketing in MTV. We are a small close-knit team with a wide remit full of interesting projects.

You solve challenging problems and empower the team to move forward by developing metrics, measuring results, and integrating new methodologies into existing systems. You do more than just crunch numbers: through reports and team engagement, you provide a UX perspective on quantitative data to help stakeholders understand their users. Coming up with solutions is only one part of your job. Equally important is to identify and quantify problems, and to embark on new research areas worth exploring through innovative methods. You apply principles of rigorous and ethical research to build and improve products that satisfy users' needs and exceed their expectations.
