About the job
YouTube Shorts is one of YouTube’s fastest-growing product ecosystems, reaching billions of users globally every month. Our Growth team’s mission is to accelerate short-form video adoption and habitual engagement by optimizing the end-to-end viewer funnel across YouTube’s largest mobile discovery surfaces.

Responsibilities
- Drive end-to-end user conversion funnels across YouTube’s primary surfaces into Shorts, identifying immediate, high-leverage UI and trigger tactics that maximize click-through, session activation, and viewing depth.
- Design, test, and scale self-reinforcing growth loops, onboarding experiences, and re-engagement mechanics that convert casual or first-time viewers into habitual daily consumers.
- Operate a rigorous, high-throughput A/B testing pipeline—rapidly translating data insights into lightweight tactical experiments to prove out metric levers before scaling long-term product investments.
- Partner with Data Science and Engineering to instrument granular funnel telemetry, dissect cohort-level drop-offs, and model ROI to ruthlessly prioritize tactics that move top-line engagement metrics.
- Establish repeatable growth playbooks through cross-functional collaboration across core YouTube teams to scale winning UI patterns globally.
