About The Job

Find the user. Find the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with the user and ends with technology, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google’s products solve the world’s problems from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And, we approach marketing in a way that only Google can break the rules, redefine the medium, make the user the hero, and ultimately let the technology speak for itself.

As a Business Data Scientist in the Marketing team, you will support our team by delivering pieces of project work including supporting the implementation of data science solutions, supporting the improvement of data pipelines, or helping our team develop evaluation metrics that provide insights to the business. Specifically, as a Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) specialist you will play a technical role in driving all things media, marketing, analytics, and partnering with internal teams to evaluate 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 issues. Regardless of geographic location, the role will maintain a global scope and requires working with teams operating across regions and marketing entities.

Responsibilities

• Provide support in media strategy, measurement, and optimization that requires expertise in advanced analytics work, with special focus on Marketing Mix Models (MMMs).
