About the role
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 Staff Business Data Scientist, you will serve as a full-stack technical lead, owning the end-to-end life-cycle of data science products that drive Google Cloud’s marketing and Go-to-market (GTM) strategy and measurement. You will move beyond traditional analysis to architect and build scalable intelligence systems.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between data engineering and data science. You will build the infrastructure required to ingest and process massive datasets, develop predictive models (e.g., lead scoring, propensity predictions), and engineer the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or serving layers that integrate these insights directly into our marketing measurement and tech stack. You will have a specific mandate to leverage Google’s Generative AI capabilities and will utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) and Gemini models to engineer novel data science products that enhance our predictive capabilities. You will advocate for software engineering best practices within the data science team, ensuring our code is testable and maintainable. You will work with Marketing leadership to ensure the intelligence systems you build actively influence decision-making. You will also mentor data scientists on the team and advocate for statistical methodology and coding standards across the organization.
