You will offer both Search and Creator Recommendations, powered by shopping data and our understanding of merchants, creators, and viewers-progressively moving towards intelligent workflow automation. You will be focused on growing merchant adoption and engagement on YouTube (YT) Shopping and empowering merchants to succeed by bringing the best-in-market value to creators and viewers on YouTube. You will plan to leverage ML and AI technology to best match merchants and creators, surface avenues for their growth, and provide smart insights; you will also build the YT Affiliate Program for creators on YouTube.
