About the job

Google's leadership team hand-picks thorny business challenges, and members of BizOps work in small teams to find solutions. As part of this team you fully immerse yourself in data collection, draw insight from analysis, and then zoom out to develop compelling, synthesized recommendations. Taking strategy one step further, you also persuasively communicate your recommendations to senior-level executives, roll-up your sleeves to help drive implementation and check back-in to see the impact of your recommendations.

In this role, you will act as a key leader to own and scale outcomes for the new Artificial Intelligence (AI)-focused demand. You will hire, mentor, and lead a Data Science pod based in India to drive data science initiatives for People Operations use cases. You will bridge the gap between business questions and advanced technical execution. You will provide the advanced technical leadership, solution code design, and cross-functional alignment required to guide the team and ensure these models are built to Google's standard from day one. You will drive technical conversations and guide the overarching architecture while managing executive stakeholder influence and advocating AI transformation across the organization.

The Business Operations and Strategy team at Google plays a critical role in defining and driving strategic, operational and organizational improvements across the company. Also known as "BizOps", the group operates like an internal consulting group working on a range of critical projects and issues. BizOps creates strategies for promoting growth of our products like YouTube, Chrome and Mobile. They handle issues around partner development, strategy work in emerging markets such as Africa and India, as well as pricing strategies across our B2B and consumer products. The BizOps team is at the forefront of Google's fast-moving strategic priorities, addressing operational challenges and enabling innovation.
