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.

The Ads and Commerce Finance team provides analysis and forecasting of core business-generating products to executive audiences. As part of this team, you will have a unique perspective on key digital advertising businesses, services, and the ecosystems within which they operate. You will serve as a partner to business leaders across Product and Engineering to drive impact through a grounding in hard data, a separate point of view, a bias to action, and a collaborative approach.

In this role, you will serve as a data scientist supporting the media effectiveness measurement team, which aims to help advertisers measure the effectiveness of their digital ad spend leveraging a full-funnel set of metrics. You will be at the center of driving analytics, insights, and measurement impact across primary web analytics and campaign management platforms. You will lead the holistic finance strategy for these product suites, oversee advanced analytics, refine pricing rate cards, and partner with Product Management, Engineering, Product Strategy, Go-To-Market, and cross-functional Finance teams to guide executive decisions.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
