Cloud Finance Analyst

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.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is changing the way the world accesses compute power. As global compute capacity rapidly shifts to the public cloud, GCP delivers virtualized compute, big data/analytics, and machine learning tools to its customers at an unparalleled scale and speed, exposing Google's infrastructure to external customers. GCP is one of the fastest growing product areas at Google. Our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team supports the Product, Engineering, and Operations teams that build and sell GCP products. Within Geo Expansion Finance, we oversee new product launches, data center launch planning, and long range planning for existing infrastructure (including Google sites, third-party sites, and networking infrastructure), and more. We are an integral partner and strategic advisor to the Cloud leadership team, advising on how to invest resources to grow a strong and sustainable business.
