Marketing Data Scientist

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.

As a Data Scientist in the Marketing team, you will drive key measurement and analytics programs that deliver a scaled impact for Google Marketing across media campaigns. You will support your team by delivering pieces of project work including supporting the implementation of data science solutions, supporting the improvement of data pipelines, managing APAC’s share of global projects, or helping your team develop evaluation metrics and best practices that provide insights to the business. You will own measurement and define milestones, provide direction for agencies/vendors, delegate, prioritize, plan, and direct a group of people to drive the project to completion.

Specifically, you will play a strategic and technical role in driving all things media, marketing, analytics, and partnering with internal teams to evaluate strategic initiatives. Using first-party and third-party data sources, you will create innovative solutions to demonstrate the effectiveness of Google’s media investment. At Google-scale, this implies working on our industry’s toughest challenges. You will maintain global consistency, while keeping regional focus. This role requires working with teams operating across regions and marketing entities.
