People Consultant

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. As a People Consultant you will work directly with Googlers, People Partners and other People Operations (POps) teams to provide personalized guidance, support, and solutions on a breadth of People Operations related activities requiring expertise and depth across multiple organizations and specialties. People Consultants will ensure that employees experience the best that HR has to offer. You will focus on Googlers' experiences, provide timely responses, share knowledge and experiences with fellow team members, and balance individual needs with our philosophy, principles, and available resources. 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.
