About the job
As a Culture and Trends Manager in YouTube Marketing, you'll have the opportunity to shape and improve understanding of YouTube, viral internet culture, trending music, memes and short form video content. You'll join the YouTube Culture and Trends team, which uses data to track trends, and connect YouTube stories and content to people. This includes community-focused initiatives, as well as other projects built around popular content across entertainment, news, music, sports and more.
You'll manage efforts around identifying popular trends, channels and videos and developing programming strategies, around short-form video.

You will work in the YouTube community and daily social media conversation.
Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
