As a Data Scientist on the YouTube Growth Team, you will be instrumental in developing a unified, holistic view of growth and health across the entire YouTube ecosystem. Your primary mission will be to establish the standards for what healthy growth looks like, actively monitor product areas for performance, and proactively surface and explain critical trends to YouTube leadership. You will move beyond localized growth initiatives to provide the cross-platform insights that guide major business and product investments.

Your work will involve developing new frameworks for measuring and benchmarking growth across different parts of YouTube, diagnosing areas of unhealthy or unsustainable trends, and translating data into clear, actionable narratives.
