Data Scientist, Ads Insight and Measurement
About the job
Data scientists in our team bring scientific and statistical methods to bear on the issues of advertising product creation, development and improvement with a deep, data-driven appreciation for the behaviors of the end user and the ecosystem. As a Data Scientist working on Ads Insights and Measurement, you will develop, evaluate and improve the entire range of Google's advertising products including Search, Display, Apps, TV and Video (YouTube). You will collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, analysts and product managers to develop new science and to translate it into deployed products at scale. You will also play a key role in developing new ideas and methods that drive ad measurement and facilitate agreements, including paradigm-shifting ad-measurement science and products for the privacy-preserving future of digital advertising. In doing so, you will be a key part of building and driving impact on large-scale ad-systems both at Google and in the ad-tech and mar-tech industry as a whole, globally.In this role, you will be quantitatively trained with expertise in quantitative methodologies, and with a solid understanding of statistics and causal inference methods. You will have an interest in understanding consumer behavior, advertising and privacy with a passion for business problems, and an interest in combining data and strategy will grow in our environment. You will be able to leverage their training and their skills to leverage data and technology to make business decisions. You will be comfortable working cross-functionally and grow in a changing, science-driven organization.
