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 Operations and Strategy team offers a community with a focus on learning and development. In this role, you will own the problem definition, analysis, work planning, and execution of your work streams, and become the “expert” on key data/topics. You will persuasively communicate your recommendations to executives, and influence decisions by building consensus, and mobilizing towards execution. You will build lasting relationships with colleagues across Alphabet, enabling you to execute rapidly with cross-functional support.

All employees for the Business Operations and Strategy team are expected to work in Pacific Standard Time (PST) timezone working hours.
