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.

As a Staff Business Data Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of YouTube products. You will leverage your deep expertise in behavioral sciences, and both quantitative and qualitative research, to evaluate the market potential and consumer appeal of new initiatives, particularly within sports, music, and media. You will directly influence product development and Go-To-Market strategies. You will collaborate closely with business stakeholders and cross-functional teams to translate research findings.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we share and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
