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.

The Business Strategy and Operations organization provides business critical insights using analytics, ensures cross-functional alignment of goals and execution, and help teams to drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. We stay focused on aligning the highest-level company priorities with effective day-to-day operations, and also help to evolve early stage ideas into future-growth initiatives.

In this role, you will directly support the Sellside business, providing exceptional Financial Operations (FinOps) support to our Sales teams and partners, enabling them to meet complex billing, payments and contracting needs. We will have to work collaboratively with a number of cross-functional teams and vendors to support critical Financial Operations work streams to drive improved process efficiency and operational excellence.
