About the job

The Creative Lab is a small team of designers, writers, programmers, filmmakers, producers and business thinkers whose mission is to remind the world what it is they love about Google. Our job is to make Google’s magic more magical, help advance and invent Google’s future, and to communicate Google’s innovations, intentions and ideals in ways that makes us all immensely proud.

As a Design Lead, you will be directly in the day-to-day visual development of products, marketing, and communications from early-stage concept development through launch. You will spend your time designing, and you should love it. There's no task too small or concept too nebulous for you not to solve each challenge with the craft you love.

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.

Responsibilities

• Help to define and evolve Google's design and creative direction.
• Work closely with marketing managers, writers, filmmakers, programmers, and producers to deliver great work in a scrappy environment.
• Communicate with the team at large on your project status, questions, ideas, or thoughts on how to move a task or assignment forward.
• Work independently or in collaboration, draw from your background, interests, and experiences to conceptualize and design new experiences, products, features, campaigns, and communications in pursuit of meaningful outcomes across all mediums.
• Manage feedback and output from design, motion, and vendors.
