The Business-to-business-to-consumers (B2B2C) Shopping and Retail Ads team’s mission is to drive leadership position and ecosystem adoption of Google’s agentic commerce and AI retail solutions through a B2B2C marketing approach.
This unique B2B2C role sits at the intersection of consumer behavior, merchant needs, and retail ad tech during a historic industry shift toward agentic commerce. You will architect global narratives for Google’s next-generation, AI-driven commerce solutions, influencing senior executives and shaping how the retail ecosystem adopts agentic AI.
As a Marketing Manager for Retail and Commerce Narratives, you will shape how Google articulates its value proposition to the retail and commerce ecosystem. Sitting within the Ads Marketing team under Retail Ads Marketing, you will own the end-to-end creation of our core B2B retail and commerce narratives.
