About the job

As a Technical Solutions Consultant, you will be responsible for the technical relationship of our largest advertising clients and/or product partners. You will lead cross-functional teams in Engineering, Sales and Product Management to leverage emerging technologies for our external clients/partners. From concept design and testing to data analysis and support, you will oversee the technical execution and business operations of Google's online advertising platforms and/or product partnerships.

You will be able to balance business and partner needs with technical constraints, develop innovative, cutting edge solutions and act as a partner and consultant to those you are working with. You will also be able to build tools and automate products, oversee the technical execution and business operations of Google's partnerships, as well as develop product strategy and prioritize projects and resources.

Our mission is to scale a safe, helpful, and monetized business messaging experience to users. We do this by working with Mobile Operators, partners and cross-Product Area teams, landing new Go-To-Market strategies and creating new use cases. Our mission goes beyond just moving SMS traffic to Rich Business Messaging traffic. We unlock new business-generating use cases that differentiate the Android messaging ecosystem.

The Communications team is tasked with improving the way people and businesses around the world communicate with one another. The next generation of mobile users will communicate in ways that differ from today's environment, and we’ll define Google's approach to this vision in two broad categories.

Communications - we’re building a suite of communications products distributed through close carrier and OEM partnerships developed across the world, and Rich Communication Services, a technology aimed at dramatically upgrading SMS to include more dynamic communications features.

Connectivity - we’re responsible for Google Fi, the innovative, disruptive wireless service, iterating on the first phone-based eSIM, and several platform and B2B carrier technologies.

Responsibilities

• Provide expert technical guidance, troubleshooting, and innovative solutions to partners for successful Rich Communication Services integration.
  
• Promote developer products through presentations, workshops, and technical content creation.
  
• Empower ecosystems partners with best practices, operational support, and ensure their success with our technology.
  
• Advocate partners' needs and influence product strategy through collaboration with cross-functional teams.
  
• Drive Rich Business Messaging (RBM) adoption by optimizing partner leverage of Google products and representing them internally.
