Job Skills You’ll Need at Google: APMM

What skills are necessary to be an APMM at Google?

A required skill set totally depends on which team you’re on as an Associate Product Marketing Manager. For example, the folks on the B2B Marketing teams (such as AdWords) were often required to be pretty good with numbers and analytical thinking. The people on the Consumer Marketing side (like me) were required to be out-of-the-box, creative thinkers. There’s also the internal operations team on Marketing, whose APMMs are mainly made up of former consultants and bankers.

No matter what team you’re on, skills that are necessary for all APMMs are: knowledge about Google, scrappiness, ability to think out of the box, and (not sure if this is a skill) curiosity. Finally, every single APMM must absolutely love Google, since our job is often to try and get others to love Google.
