About the job

Help serve Google's worldwide user base of more than a billion people. Data Scientists provide quantitative support, market understanding and a strategic perspective to our partners throughout the organization. As a data-loving member of the team, you serve as an analytics expert for your partners, using numbers to help them make better decisions. You will weave stories with meaningful insight from data. You'll make critical recommendations for your fellow Googlers in Engineering and Product Management. You relish tallying up the numbers one minute and communicating your findings to a team leader the next.

Search Strategic Analysis is responsible for insights that inform our most important strategic decisions. We drive strategic insights for Search leaders across external landscape, growth and our biggest long term bets.

In this role, you will develop new insights into Google's place in the external landscape, changes in user behavior and other questions that shape product strategy. You will partner with cross-functional partners in Program Manager (PM), Engineer (Eng), User experience research (UXR) and others to connect those insights to concrete product strategies and ultimately to reach decisions from executive product leads. This role requires technical data science expertise, strategic product insight, cross-functional collaboration, and executive influence and communications.

The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.

We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $156,000-$229,000 + 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.
