About the job:

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day.

In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.

One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.

In this role you will help determine how to protect and enable content creation in the age of GenAI. You will work to protect and unlock content value by supporting the infrastructure of YouTube Content ID, an industry leading copyright platform.

The team is in charge of the provenance system for all of Google’s audio and video models and is leading in detecting 3rd Party models. You will be in charge of extending the provenance offering, adopting it to new types of models and enabling other teams to build responsibly powerful applications on top of it.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with cross-functional product and engineering teams.
• Own our strategy around identifying synthetic content (e.g. 3rd party Generative video) and make that information available to other teams. 
• Develop our strategy for how we build a centralized infrastructure to provide information on how videos are made including the ability to fundamentally measure and understand the prevalence and growth of Generative AI video content.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to collect relevant signals and collaborate with Google Deep Mind and folks across Google in labeling video to show where it came from, who made it, and if it's been changed.
