People Consultant

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.

As a People Consultant, you’ll ensure our Googler experience is the best that Google HR has to offer. You’ll focus on Googlers, providing timely responses, sharing knowledge and feedback with fellow team members, and balancing the individual needs with Google’s philosophy, principles and available resources. Additionally, you will be responsible for coaching and consulting with colleagues, managers and leaders to increase overall leadership, team and organizational effectiveness across Google through using specific tools and processes. You will collaborate with People Partners on programs and projects, and work as part of a team, and with other People Operations teams, in order to simplify and improve People Operations processes.

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.
