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. We collaborate closely with each other and with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for the people who use them, and for Google’s businesses.

As a Visual Designer, you’ll rely on user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences—from concept to execution. Like all of our UX jobs, 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.

The Shopping team’s mission is to make Google an essential part of users' shopping journeys and the best place for merchants to connect with users. This role joins a team of visual and motion designers who are the creative stewards of brand expression and design standards for Shopping experiences. We build cohesive systems, foster design quality, and drive creative innovation, all within a dynamic and changing environment.

User experience is at the forefront of how we create intuitive, innovative, and beautiful products that people love. We strive to learn and understand our users’ needs, behaviors, and emotions to gather insights that inform product strategy and design. Our UX teams include designers, researchers, content strategists, and engineers who are passionate about quality, usability, and simplicity. We work on collaborative teams to solve complex challenges and craft experiences that highlight our products’ unique capabilities and personalities. Our work touches billions while exemplifying a key principle that is core to Google’s philosophy: “Focus on the user and all else will follow.”

Responsibilities

• Craft dynamic motion graphics, videos, and storyboards to communicate product experiences and influence engineering development.
• Own the design process end-to-end from conceptualization and prototyping to final implementation, take ownership of projects, identify opportunities for improvement, and bring fresh perspectives.
• Create visually engaging presentations for leadership, develop assets for cross-functional teams, and build excellent relationships to bring products to life.
• Apply and support the use of design system principles in Consumer Shopping, and establish new patterns when needed.
• Integrate AI-powered features into workflows and demonstrate adaptability in a changing environment.
