Partner Upskilling Lead for Search, APAC

Agencies and Partners (A&Ps) are the primary users of Google's media platforms and those of competitors, influencing a disproportionate amount of Google's ad spend and playing a key role in buying decisions. gTech Ads has established a new Agency & Partners (gAP) Organization with a mission to scale gTech's expert services by building a thriving and technically enabled third-party Partner ecosystem. The Upskilling team within this organization will be responsible for educating agencies and partners on the media products and services, thus fueling scalable activation and business growth through coordinated partner education and product adoption.

The menu of services spreads across across customized, white-glove learning workshops that drive product education and adoption (Camps), to on-demand learning content libraries that help drive scaled education (partner center). All offerings are geared towards educating and empowering the agency and partner ecosystem to ensure they can bring the best of the Google Ads experience to their customers.
