About the Job
At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s Visual Designers weave space, typography, color, iconography, and texture together to help people successfully navigate our products. We believe that all of our products should be beautiful and accessible.
Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering insights about the behaviors and perceptions of people who use our products to inspire and inform design.
As a Visual Designer, you’ll rely on user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences—from concept to execution. You’ll collaborate with your design partners to leverage and evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative, inspired products that people love to use.
As the Visual Design Lead on the Google Labs Characters team, you will be a driving force in defining the visual design of a novel, zero-to-one interactive experience. Your work will significantly influence how people interact with and learn from Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered characters, playing a key role in making expert knowledge more accessible and engaging for everyone. This will require collaboration with cross-functional partners to ensure Google ships high-quality, impactful experiences.
Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team exists to help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies.
Responsibilities
- Lead the complete visual design process for innovative interactive products, from initial concept to final handoff, ensuring a cohesive and engaging user experience.
- Develop and implement novel User Experience (UX) patterns specifically tailored for AI-powered products and interactive characters.
- Partner with Product Managers, UX Researchers, and Engineers to advocate for user-centered design.
- Create and maintain a robust and scalable design system that promotes streamlined development, ensures brand consistency, and enables efficient design iteration.
- Integrate core design principles with cutting-edge technologies like AI to drive product innovation and enhance functionality.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $214,000-$305,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the users we serve, creating a culture of belonging, and providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition, expecting or parents-to-be, criminal histories consistent with legal requirements, or any other basis protected by law.
Google is a global company and, in order to facilitate efficient collaboration and communication globally, English proficiency is a requirement for all roles unless stated otherwise in the job posting.
