Google on Lookout for Fresh Talent to Lead Its Global Web3 Team

In addition to ultimately building customer demand for relevant products, this position will be responsible for raising awareness of Google Cloud’s Web3 initiative.

Following the establishment of a Web3 team under Google Cloud on May 6, tech giant Alphabet’s Google is now seeking for a full-time candidate to lead its Global Web3 team.

As seen on the job listing, the Google Cloud division opened up a “Head of Product Marketing” role who will be tasked with raising awareness about Google Cloud’s Web3 initiatives in addition to eventually building customer demand for the related offerings.

In an email shared with employees right before the commencement of the Web3 team, the vice president at Google Cloud, Amit Zavery, reportedly shared his vision to make Google Cloud the first choice for developers in Web3:

“While the world is still early in its embrace of Web3, it is a market that is already demonstrating tremendous potential with many customers asking us to increase our support for Web3 and crypto-related technologies.”

Some of the key responsibilities for the role in question in addition to leading marketing initiatives include creating annual plans for Web3 and driving awareness across different segments of the Web3 audience.

The job location is limited to New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Sunnyvale. Google has been known to create and discard numerous in-house initiatives, however, this is Google’s first attempt at delving into theWeb3.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2022, Gavin Wood, founder of Polkadot (DOT), talked about the evolution of Web3. According to Wood, Web3 applications don’t have the need to go beyond their current usage:

“I don’t think Web3 needs to evolve, really, from its origins too much yet but maybe in the future, it will.”

Furthermore, Wood explained how Web3 pushed the conversation beyond Bitcoin, decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contracts into the underlying technology that drives the crypto world.
