About the job

At Google, data drives all of our decision-making. Quantitative Analysts work all across the organization to help shape Google's business and technical strategies by processing, analyzing and interpreting huge data sets. Using analytical excellence and statistical methods, you mine through data to identify opportunities for Google and our clients to operate more efficiently, from enhancing advertising efficacy to network infrastructure optimization to studying user behavior. As an analyst, you do more than just crunch the numbers. You work with Engineers, Product Managers, Sales Associates and Marketing teams to adjust Google's practices according to your findings. Identifying the problem is only half the job; you also figure out the solution.

The mission of Cloud Supply Chain Operations (CSCO) Data Science team is to improve CSCO efficiency through applied machine learning and prescriptive insights. Efficiency could come in the form of cost-savings, reduced cycle time, reduced toil on GSO users, and improved supply/demand predictability. Our data science modeling and analytics work also focuses on projects that increase satisfaction of the users across GSO, elevate our measurement capabilities, and improve key business metrics. We recently inherited broader scope to support end-to-end supply chain and operations managed by Cloud Supply Chain and Operations organization.

Responsibilities

• Develop machine learning, statistical, and optimization models to improve supply chain and operations efficiency. Deliver difficult analytical problems with initial guidance structuring approach and conduct exploratory data analyses, inform model design, and development.
• Analyze users, usage, trends and relevant dimensions, providing insights on changing dynamics. Prioritize multiple projects and refine timelines with stakeholders.
• Plan and execute prioritized project work, including selecting appropriate methods and advising on opportunities to improve data infrastructure. Identify and recommend ways to improve solutions to problems via selecting better methods/tools.
• Identify issues with scope, data, or approach. Escalate issues to be addressed by stakeholders and communicate, present insights, and recommend actions to stakeholders.
• Be capable of independent end-to-end delivery of data extraction and manipulation, visualization, and development of analytical/statistical models. Influence logging and navigate the teams’ technical stack.
