About the job

Google Cloud teams work with schools, companies, and government agencies to make them more productive, mobile, and collaborative. You help fellow sales Googlers by performing budgeting, planning, and analysis activities — and through your passion for the magic of Google products like Google Workspace and Chrome. Not only do you provide invaluable financial and budgeting input, but you also devise new ways for us to identify and communicate with potential opportunities, connecting them to our sales team and showing how Google Cloud can impact their business. Your insight means you excel at customer segmentation, acquisition, and retention. You combine clean communication with strong analytical skills and a solid commitment to understanding customer needs and providing a Googley customer experience. You also peer into the future for us; you examine and analyze statistical data to forecast marketing trends and to identify potential new markets for Google Cloud.

Chrome OS delivers quality computing at scale to provide universal and unfettered access to information, entertainment, and tools. Our mission is to empower anyone to create and access information freely through fast, secure, simple, and intelligent computing.

Responsibilities

  • Be responsible for expanding the presence of Google for Education across the region, driving adoption and usage of Google for Education solutions such as Google Workspace for Education and Chromebooks, and being the presence of the Education team publicly.
  • Manage and grow our promoter channel, engage with regional and separate business opportunities, and have active usage goals in the region.
  • Build awareness of Google's product offering in the education space in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) through engagement at all levels, from national to local educators.
  • Work with the in-country Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) team and Google Cloud teams to develop relationships and case studies for the SSA region.
  • Work closely to support, develop, and potentially onboard our SSA partners.
