About the role

  • We are moving from traditional analytics to a Google Cloud-centric, AI‐driven organization built on BigQuery, dbt, Vertex AI, and Glean.
  • As our Senior Manager of Data Science & AI, you will:
  • Be a product‐minded builder who uses AI as a lever for business productivity and automated decision‐making - not as a science project.

Responsibilities

  • If you want to shape an enterprise AI strategy on Google Cloud, lead a hands‐on DS/AI team, and turn BigQuery + Vertex into real competitive advantage, we'd like to talk.
  • Own the design and deployment of production‐grade ML models and AI agents on BigQuery + Vertex.
  • Partner with Enterprise Data, IT, and business leaders to prioritize use cases by expected impact, feasibility, and time‐to‐value.
  • Lead the design of agentic workflows and AI copilots that:
  • Use LLM orchestration, RAG over BigQuery/dbt models, and Vertex/Gemini to build agents that are grounded, auditable, and safe.
  • Own the end‐to‐end lifecycle for predictive models (e.g., churn, propensity, adoption, expansion, forecasting):
  • Problem framing, feature design, model selection, evaluation.
  • Ensure AI outputs are anchored in governed dbt models and BigQuery marts to minimize hallucination and maintain executive trust.
  • Collaborate tightly with:
  • Lead a high‐performing, distributed team of Data Scientists (US & EMEA).

Requirements

  • Proven track record of taking models and AI solutions into production and delivering measurable business outcomes (revenue, retention, efficiency, or cost).
  • AI & Modeling Expertise
  • Hands‐on experience with:
  • Ability to apply these methods to large, messy real‐world datasets and ship something that works now, not just in theory.
  • Deep Google Stack Experience (Required)
  • Significant, recent experience with Google Cloud Platform, including:

Nice to have

  • Master's or PhD in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering) preferred, or equivalent deep industry experience.

Skills

  • Strong proficiency in Python (and/or R) and SQL
  • familiarity with common ML frameworks.
  • Practical knowledge of MLOps patterns:
  • Model versioning, CI/CD, monitoring, retraining policies.
  • Integration of predictions and agents into production workflows and tools.
  • Mindset & Leadership
  • Strong bias for action:
  • Demonstrated ability to:
  • Attract, grow, and retain high‐caliber DS/AI talent.
  • Thrive in a fast‐paced environment with evolving priorities.
  • Education

Benefits

  • Monitor business KPIs and health signals.
