Drive Google Developer Studio operational excellence through robust financial practices, streamlined workflows, supplier engagement, clear reporting and strategic comms to showcase the team's capabilities and wins.
Empowering creative excellence with operational precision.
As Operations Lead, I provide comprehensive financial and operational leadership for Google Developer Studio, an internal creative production studio within Google’s Platforms & Devices unit. This involves managing the full OpEx lifecycle, from budgeting and identifying variances to strategically reallocating funds towards high-impact initiatives to fuel creative output. I also spearhead the development and rollout of streamlined financial processes, along with new tools and templates, which significantly improve our team's ability to track expenses, actualize costs and generate accurate reports.
Beyond core financial management, I drive key leadership reporting efforts, playing an active role in annual planning and collaborating closely with Marketing leadership to define team OKRs and deliver timely quarterly performance insights. A significant part of my focus is also on optimizing our supplier relationships by implementing process improvements geared towards enhancing speed, efficiency and quality, alongside establishing measurable tracking and best practice guidelines for project briefs and vetting new partners.
Finally, to ensure our studio's capabilities and successes are recognized, I developed and launched a comprehensive communications plan. This involved creating a distribution strategy that leveraged various channels, including awards programs, internal snippets, newsletters and detailed case studies, to boost visibility and appreciation for the team's work across Marketing and other partner teams.
