Blogger Discussion Leader on B2B Web Products

The individual who would be selected to take on the role of writing this blog would have two primary responsibilities 1) to create/maintain a new external-facing company blog for businesses level clients (B2C & B2B) that provides insight into and promotes the entire platform of Google business web products; and; 2) for handling questions posted by visitors, and when necessary troubleshooting and identifying emerging situations that need expeditious attention (trouble spots) related to dissatisfied or frustrated business clients. 

This professional managing this blog-level customer service hot-line would be responsible for promoting/showcasing new Google products, and to discuss the features of existing products in a way that benefits business users. These discussions would be intended to trigger thinking and feedback from business owners who are struggling with the existing Google products they are using, but are not otherwise likely to express complaints, or raise their issues through normal existing communication channels. The professional in this position would be responsible for helping solve problems that are raised before they become critical issues that can adversely effect the company's reputation or revenue avenues. This Blogger will need to develop excellent relationships with The Company customer services teams, engineering/help desk teams and business services teams on both vertical and consumer facing business units/teams.

It would be a pleasure to apply for this position, but it is not included in the list of jobs that are currently advertised at jobs.google.com, so I have applied for the following job instead:

Director of B2B Marketing, Media and Platforms - Mountain View

This series is a skills showcase of Clint Garwood, a senior-level marketing consultant actively campaigning to get a Google job. I am happy to interview for and discuss this and other positions with Google (or with other companies) where my skills and extensive experience can find a good home. I am willing to relocate and/or travel extensively as a condition of any suitable work offer made to me. Thank you for considering me for Your Team. I am looking forward to hearing from you very soon.
