About the Job:

In this role, you will be an internal consultant tasked with helping Google make better decisions through the use of causal inference. You will be working with many teams such as Finance, Product, Engineering, Business, Marketing, Legal, Policy, and Research. Your job will be to help decision-makers at Google make informed choices using econometric and statistical methods. You will have excellent communication skills in addition to technical expertise. You will translate vague questions into concrete problems on which you can design studies, and communicate findings to non-technical audiences while effectively conveying uncertainty and the assumptions used in your analysis.

You will have experience with modern methods in causal inference and Machine Learning (ML). Google uses a large set of tools from experimental to observational techniques, touching on a broad range of problems from different functional and product areas. When available methodologies are not well-suited for the problem you are trying to solve, you will need to develop new techniques and models.

Responsibilities:

• Design and lead causal inference studies to answer critical business questions and evaluate effects of interventions.
• Present and communicate actionable insights and recommendations to executives, leaders, and cross-functional partners.
• Serve as a subject matter expert, reviewer and consultant for causal inference studies conducted by cross-functional teams.
• Develop and maintain internal tools and statistical software packages for investigative tasks and impact measurement.
