About the job

People Operations strives to revolutionize human resources the same way that Google has revolutionized search. We are helping to find, grow, and keep the remarkable assemblage of talent who are our Googlers. You'll be an advocate of Google's culture and values, partnering with our business leaders to help them build their organizations and make sure all people decisions are based on data. Whether coaching our clients on how to lead their teams, navigating and resolving employee relations issues, or improving policies and processes in service of the Googler experience, you are exceptionally focused on putting them first, and being as clear and transparent as possible to help Googlers understand how people decisions get made.

People Consultants support Googlers on a range of subject matters and in the moments that matter -- be it a work-related milestone or support for wellbeing. Given the breadth of consultations, this role may work with sensitive situations and may be exposed to graphic, controversial, and/or upsetting topics or content.

Great just isn't good enough for our People Operations team (known elsewhere as "Human Resources"). We bring the world's most innovative people to Google and provide the programs that help them thrive. Whether recruiting the next Googler, refining our core programs, developing talent, or simply looking for ways to inject some more fun into the lives of our Googlers, we bring a data-driven approach that is reinventing the human resources field. You'll play an essential role advancing a more diverse, accessible, equitable, and inclusive Google through our hiring, promotion, retention, and inclusion practices.
