About the job

Financial Analysts ensure that Google makes sound financial decisions. 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.
As someone who knows the workings of the core Finance team inside and out, you'll lead individual projects to transform planning, tracking and control processes. You'll provide senior level management with insightful recommendations, planning and reporting support.

The goal of Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is to create financial insights that make Google better by unpacking complex business problems to reveal opportunities, manage risk, and steward scarce resources. Our impact is fueled by a bias to action, a grounding in hard data, courage in advocacy, and willingness to put the team before the individual. Platforms Finance is the team that applies the above mission to Android, Chrome OS, and Chrome products in coordination with the cross-finance and cross-functional teams.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on Android, a dynamic platform through which many of our users experience Google. You are a strategic thinker with excellent technical and analytical skills to join our team to analyze and advise the cross-functional team. You will work day-to-day with business leaders in Android, working with them to model out product and partnership decisions based on analytics.

The name Google came from "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. And nobody at Google loves big numbers like the Finance team when providing in depth analysis on all manner of strategic decisions across Google products. From developing forward-thinking analysis to generating management reports to scaling our automated financial processes, the Finance organization is an important partner and advisor to the business.

Responsibilities

• Provide decision making support for key projects, and proactively research new ways of modeling data to unlock actionable insights or improve processes
• Leverage technical expertise to provide quantitative analysis around growth drivers and business assumptions.
• Identify and monitor key metrics that drive the business, highlighting trends, and analyzing causes of unexpected variance
• Liaise and interact with other Finance, Business Intelligence, Product, and Strategy and Operations teams to assure strategic and analytical alignment, as well as data consistency and efficiency
• Deliver exec-ready presentations and analyses and create dashboards and reports to guide business decisions
