Financial Analyst II, Strategy and Operations

Financial Analyst II, Strategy and Operations

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. 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.

The Strategy and Operations team is the central team for Finance which partners with two of the largest business organizations at Alphabet:
Global Business Organization (GBO) (our sales organization) and Knowledge and Information (K&I) (including Ads, Search, Assistant, Commerce and Geo product areas). 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.
