As a Financial Analyst, your work, whether it's modeling business scenarios or tracking performance metrics, is used by our leaders to make strategic company decisions. Working on multiple projects at a time, you are focused on the details while finding creative ways to take on big picture challenges.
With your analytics and financial acuity, you'll liaise between the Finance team with the functional areas it supports. You resolve issues related to forecasting, planning, resource prioritization and business profitability, and you help translate analyses into easy-to-understand presentations.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on the laptop (Googlebooks and Chromebooks) and tablet products, which are key platforms for Google. This is an integral part of an ecosystem through which many of our users experience Google services including access to Search, Gemini, YouTube, Chrome, and Workspace.
Your efforts will allow for data driven decision making for product investments, go-to-market strategies, marketing campaigns, and business optimizations. You will be partnering to help leadership understand ROI and financial performance to ensure we’re making smart decisions.
