About the job

The Global Business Strategy and Operations team is part of the Go-to-Market organization that makes sure Google's business pursues the best strategy and executes flawlessly. Team members are exceptional in business strategy and operations, are problem-solvers and strategic, yet highly pragmatic and results-oriented. This team architects the future of Google’s global ads business. The function drives Go-to-Market strategy and analytics, operational efficiency and productivity, risk and compliance, Chief Business Officer and Chief of Staff team, and ads policy strategy.


The Data, Insights, and Analytics (DIA) partners with various Global Business Strategy and Operations team members to drive the best decisions possible with data. We build creative and novel Machine Learning (ML) solutions and analyses to drive strategy. We help our organization make nuanced, smart, and difficult decisions to ensure the Ads Business continues to thrive.

In this role, you will be significantly improving how customers are assigned to the most optimal sales channel, as our current manual decision model, while nuanced, is limited by historical data and a narrow understanding of what drives customer performance. You will be tasked with developing a causal ML model to automate and enhance these assignments, while also uncovering new data patterns that could revolutionize how our business manages clients. You will need to be a strategic thinker, using your business and product judgment to guide our data strategy. Your problem-solving skills will be key to ideating, discovering, and integrating hundreds, if not thousands, of data signals, ensuring they are perfectly structured for our causal ML problem.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
