About the job
The Kids & Families team is dedicated to building safe, enriching, and universally accessible experiences for younger users across Google’s ecosystem. As the digital landscape evolves, ensuring age-appropriate experiences, privacy, and compliance is critical to our mission. Our team works at the intersection of complex regulatory requirements, and user-centric design to establish Google as the industry standard for family safety and privacy-preserving age assurance.
As a Principal Product Manager for Age Assurance, you will lead the definitive product strategy for how Google understands and assures user age at scale. You are responsible for building and scaling a portfolio of platforms that allow Google to deliver age-appropriate experiences while strictly adhering to global safety and privacy regulations. You will pragmatically leverage advanced technologies, including Machine Learning, Generative AI and LLMs, where they solve critical problems, while proactively navigating cross-company, multidisciplinary challenges. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering, trust & safety, and executive leadership to orchestrate a unified age assurance strategy across all of Google.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

- Translate complex and constantly evolving global regulations into actionable product requirements, infrastructure, and rigorous compliance metrics.
- Lead the adoption of age assurance platforms across major Google product areas. Drive executive leadership alignment to secure buy-in, and ensure seamless integration across the company.
