We support the product's ambitions to shape the future of the open web in the age of AI. We do this by evolving Chrome, which serves the world and Google as both a product and a platform.
As a Product Specialist for Web Ecosystem Partnerships, you will shape the future of the open web in the age of AI.

In this product-first role, you will own the relationship with Product Managers, lead initial product validation, and design go-to-market strategies.
