Head of Product Learning Experiences, Global Learning Experiences

The Product Learning Experiences (PLX) team is responsible for strategic benchmarking of what product expertise is needed for sellers, and owns the learning agenda and execution for products across all areas. The team defines the bar and supporting frameworks to show what is expected for product proficiency, often in combination with other skills and knowledge.

As Head of the PLX team, you will serve as a strategic leader and key relationship lead for Global and Regional product-focused GPS and GTM teams. You will provide thought leadership to translate product roadmaps into global, regional and local longer-term strategies and tactical initiatives that directly address business-blocking skill gaps across sales teams. You will also support scaling local programs into globally scaled learning offerings.

In this role, you will lead the evolution of how learning is created and delivered to sales teams. You will act as a catalyst for AI transformation across Global Learning Experiences (GLX), guiding your team to innovate learning design by strategically leveraging AI-native solutions to build productive, evolving best practices. Partnering across GCE and regional GTM teams, you will ensure product fluency standards align with Google’s long-term commercial goals. Ultimately, you will own decision-making for these large-scale deliverables, breaking down complex, undefined problems across many stakeholder groups into manageable work streams for your team, and setting the standard for how we develop AI-enabled learning strategy in an environment that lacks precedent.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
