In this role, you will provide analysis on all manner of decisions across Google products from developing forward-thinking analysis to generate management reports to our automated financial processes.

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.
