Google Jobs in Ghana (May 2013): Business Dev.

Job Title 1: Business Development Manager

Businesses that partner with Google come in all shapes, sizes and market caps, and no one Google advertising solution works for all. Your knowledge of online media combined with your communication skills and analytical abilities shapes how new and existing business grow. Using your relationship-building skills, you provide Google-caliber client service, research and market analysis. You anticipate how decisions are made, understand the details of individual campaigns and persistently explore and uncover the business needs of your key clients. Working with them, you set the vision and the strategy for how their advertising can reach thousands of users.

As part of the team, your work will revolve around three key areas: New business development (sourcing, planning, consulting with new clients); Internal cross-functional alignment (supporting new initiatives, rolling out new products etc); Strategic business guidance and insights (internal stakeholder communication, representing Google at external events etc). In line with the above, you will be expected to spend 20% of your time on regional data analysis. This will involve gathering relevant data to conduct business analysis and provide recommendations on improved reporting infrastructure (e.g. SSA/EM dashboards). You will model data in order to create quantitative models including forecast, operational, financial, and statistical models of business dynamics and finally deliver effective presentations of findings and recommendations to multiple levels of stakeholders.
