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 managing programs that help develop our Googlers, 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.

In this role, you will rely on your expertise of applicable employment laws and best practices to interpret and apply Google policies to address all workplace concerns. This will include matters that may violate Google’s HR policies as well as ensuring Googlers are being treated fairly and consistently in areas such as reorganizations, promotion, performance management, pay, and level.

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.

Responsibilities

• Conduct fair, thorough, and timely investigations into allegations of violations of Google’s HR policies or local law and policies to ensure fair treatment of all employees.

• Review and advise on complex performance management situations and fairness of decision-making and local processes for reorganizations and restructuring exercises.
