About the job
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 Cloud Central FP&A team's mission is to empower leadership with proactive, data-driven financial insights needed to turn long-term strategy into rigorous execution and profitable growth. We are the trusted, independent advisors to Cloud leadership, translating complex financial data into clear decision frameworks. Culturally, we operate as one unified team, deeply committed to cross-functional collaboration and dedicated to investing in the growth and development of every teammate.
This role will oversee the publication and analysis of Google Cloud Product P&Ls, empowering product leadership to make data-driven growth and profitability decisions. You will bridge the gap between business requirements and technical execution, guiding data teams to build scalable pipelines and precise cost-and-revenue allocation logic. As a key influencer, you will engage with a broad network of finance and business stakeholders across the Google Cloud organization.
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.
