SnapshotThe Google DeepMind Institute (GDI) has a unique role in GDM, to develop solutions and resources built on GDM's technologies and expertise that extend the benefits to humanity. We are a path to real world impact, beyond ABC products and services or making our research public.
About usArtificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.
The roleWe are seeking a driven Impact Data Analyst with a passion for using data to drive social impact in our Life Sciences, Climate and Environment and Education efforts. This highly collaborative role will be instrumental in transforming complex data sets into actionable insights, handling ad hoc stakeholder requests, and developing robust data analysis infrastructure.
Key responsibilities- Impact Analysis: Design and execute in-depth analyses to measure the impact of our work
- Insight Communication: Translate complex data findings into clear, visually compelling reports, presentations, and dashboards customised for diverse collaborators
- Ad Hoc Analysis: Respond effectively to data-driven queries from various collaborators, providing prompt and accurate analysis
- Collaboration: Work closely with GDI teams to understand their data needs and drive project objectives based on insights
- Data Infrastructure Development: Build and maintain data pipelines and processes to ensure clean, organised, and accessible data
In order to set you up for success as an Impact Data Analyst at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience:
- Python Proficiency: Mastery of Python for data manipulation, analysis, and visualisation (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib/Seaborn/Altair).
- Statistical Expertise: Solid foundation in statistical techniques necessary for robust impact analysis, including hypothesis testing, regression modelling, and experimental design.
- Data Storytelling: Ability to translate technical findings into digestible narratives and visualisations for a non-technical audience.
- Problem-Solving: A proactive and analytical mentality with a talent for identifying trends, patterns, and anomalies within data sets.
- Communication & Collaboration: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; demonstrable ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
