User experience is at the forefront of how we create intuitive, innovative, and beautiful products that people love. We strive to learn and understand our users' needs, behaviors, and emotions to gather insights that inform product strategy and design. Our UX teams include designers, researchers, content strategists, and engineers who are passionate about quality, usability, and simplicity. We work on collaborative teams to solve complex challenges and craft experiences that highlight our products' unique capabilities and personalities. Our work touches billions while exemplifying a key principle that is core to Google's philosophy: "Focus on the user and all else will follow."

  • Influence product strategy and user experience through sound data-driven recommendations within compelling data visualizations and narratives that can travel widely across the organization.
  • Drive understanding of merchant users and their needs at scale by leveraging existing work from the UXR team and through new initiatives and program ownership.
  • Develop metrics and lead the measurement of the user experience in our products in collaboration with data science.
