**About the job**:
Google's leadership team hand-picks thorny business challenges, and members of BizOps work in small teams to find solutions. As part of this team you fully immerse yourself in data collection, draw insight from analysis, and then zoom out to develop compelling, synthesized recommendations. Taking strategy one step further, you also persuasively communicate your recommendations to senior-level executives, roll-up your sleeves to help drive implementation and check back-in to see the impact of your recommendations.
In this role, you will lead the development and execution of strategic programs to drive the long-term developer ecosystem success and address short-mid term key business goals and challenges. You will be the key interface between the LATAM Partnerships teams and the wider Play Partnerships StratOps team. You'll help align the team with global strategy and decide which developers are in its managed portfolio, but also shape central programs to ensure they address the priority opportunities and challenges of the team and the developers it supports. You will be the central advocate for the LATAM regional team, assuring their needs are met from the various operational support teams in terms of tooling, training, reporting, technical expertise and resourcing to function successfully.

They make it possible for people to do things like buy an ebook or song on their Android phone, then have it instantly available on their laptop. The Google Play team enhances the Android ecosystem by giving developers and partners a premium store where they can reach millions of users.
**Responsibilities**:
- Work with LATAM Directors and Leads to identify key programs and opportunities that move the needle of the Global Apps and Games business in the region, ranging from the long-term vertical strategy development to the short-term efforts to mitigate regulatory and reputational risks.

- Develop a deep understanding of the market dynamics within the Global apps and games industry to help define strategies and resource planning.
