Business Data Scientist, gTech Users and Products

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.

Product Services Analytics (PSA) is a centralized data science and analytics team powering the operations that support Google's global product portfolio. Operating holistically across a broad spectrum of critical service operations, we enable data-backed decision-making that optimizes operational efficiency and drives product improvements.

Business Data Scientists in PSA are united by our passion for data science, advanced modeling, and making a scalable impact. We are on a mission to delight the millions of users, developers, and partners who rely on Google's flagship products and services. Being at the intersection of product, engineering, and global operations, we focus on technical solutions across a holistic set of services, including Machine Learning Data Operations driving AI model advancements, product testing, developer communities, and localization.

As a Business Data Scientist, you will balance business and operational needs with technical constraints, develop innovative ML/AI and analytical solutions, and act as a strategic partner to cross-functional teams. You will design scalable solutions to automate analysis, establish robust performance and modeling, and oversee the data-backed execution of critical operations, driving impact through clear communication.
