ABOUT THE JOB:

Google’s advertising measurement team focuses on combining data at scale with

formal science to make this possible. Our science helps make advertising useful

and delightful to our users, and valuable and results-driven for our advertisers

and publishers.

As a part of this team, data scientists bring scientific statistical methods to

bear on the challenges 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 monetization, including

paradigm-shifting ad-measurement science and products for the privacy-preserving

future of digital advertising. 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, individuals with an interest in understanding consumer behavior,

advertising and privacy, a passion for business problems, and an interest in

combining data and strategy will grow in the environment. You will be able to
