About the job

The Product Learning Experiences (PLX) team is a product learning development team within the Global Learning Experiences (GLX) team of GBOEdu. PLX is product-focused but topics include related skills to support sellers’ proficiency in competitively selling Google Ads products to enable customers to meet their business goals. The PLX team is responsible for strategic benchmarking of what product expertise is needed for sellers, and owns the learning agenda and execution for products across all areas. The team defines the bar and supporting frameworks to show what is expected for product proficiency, often in combination with other skills and knowledge.

As the YouTube+ PLX Principal Lead, you will serve as a strategic point of contact for Global and Regional product-focused GPS and GTM teams. In this role, you will provide thought leadership to translate product roadmaps into sales-ready tactical initiatives that directly address business-blocking skill gaps across sales teams.

You will collaborate with GTM and Sales stakeholders to design an agile, modular, and globally scalable curriculum. This curriculum empowers sellers to exceed in knowledge and skills within the rapidly evolving Ads ecosystem. Additionally, this role works closely with peers across GLX and GBOedu to advance selected local and regional learning objectives, and build ways of scaling content across more audiences.

You will also innovate learning design and delivery mechanisms by leveraging scalable, AI-native solutions. The goal is to evolve beyond traditional training, acting as a strategic partner that drives success for both customers and Google. To that end, you will influence at the Director+ level to ensure product fluency standards align with Google’s commercial goals.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
