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.
