Google is not a
conventional company, and we don't intend to become one. True, we share
attributes with the world's most successful organizations - a focus on
innovation and smart business practices comes to mind - but even as we continue
to grow, we're committed to retaining a small-company feel. At Google, we know
that every employee has something important to say, and that every employee is
integral to our success. We provide individually-tailored compensation packages
that can be comprised of competitive salary, bonus, and equity components,
along with the opportunity to earn further financial bonuses and rewards.
Googlers thrive in small, focused teams and high-energy environments, believe
in the ability of technology to change the world, and are as passionate about
their lives as they are about their work.
We are recruiting to fill the position of:
Job Title: Head of Africa NBU Programs
Location: Nigeria
Summary
Google's line of products and services to our clients never stops growing. The
Partnerships Development team is responsible for seeking and exploring new
opportunities with Google's partners. Armed with your business acumen and
extensive product knowledge, you are right on the front line of interacting
with our partners, and helping them find ways to grow using Google's newest
product offerings. Your knowledge of relevant verticals and relationships with
key industry players will help shape our great applications and content for
products such as YouTube, Google TV and Commerce.
Google is proud to provide services to billions of Internet users around the
world. While currently there are over 3 billion Internet users globally, more
than 4 billion people are still not connected to the Internet and have not
experienced the wonderful things that the Internet can bring to their lives.
Within the Next Billion Users team, we understand that there are some basic
primitives like access & payments that are necessary to drive the growth of
internet economies in NBU countries. Therefore we are committed to developing
innovative access and other solutions and are working with key industry players
to bring these products to market in Africa. The fast growing WiFi project with
India Railtel is an example.
As the NBU programs lead for Africa, you will be responsible for driving the
distribution/sales and execution of a number of NBU programs e.g. access, apps
and payments solutions, in the country. For example in the case of access,
since one size does not fit all, the role will require developing an inherent
understanding of the unique needs of each market in the region and a customized
solution that makes sense given the environment. You will be responsible for
identifying the right sets of partners within each market and designing an
engagement strategy with them to move towards the goal of connecting millions
of new users in Africa. This role will require complex internal stakeholder
management as you work with a cross-functional team across product, engineering
and sales. You will gain exposure to critical growth markets for Google while
defining & managing project plans, interacting with agencies and partners.
insights into NBU consumers and strong analytical understanding is a must have
besides strategic vision, leadership, creativity, attention to detail, project
management and persuasive communication. As an important member of the NBU
team, you will have a direct impact on the design and deployment of these
innovative products and solutions in this region.
