You will also manage business creation and growth with our partners as part of our next generation implementations. In addition, you will also work with the Global team using your insights and perspectives from local markets, to support global initiatives.

You will work autonomously to close agreements and also collaboratively with cross-functional teams to initiate, support, and grow partners and YouTube’s business.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process.
