You will unify Google.org’s data and operational workflows into a single, trusted source of truth across global giving, and enable Google.org global pillars and leadership to track and maximize the organization's overall philanthropic impact. You will achieve this by designing impact surveys deployed to Google.org funding recipients and partners, developing validated outcome scales, and performing statistical analysis of survey results to inform Google.org’s reporting initiatives.
