You'll independently manage and drive projects, and make ground-breaking recommendations based on your project findings.

We are looking for someone who combines an analytical approach with creative thinking.

In People Ops, we "find them, grow them, and keep them" - we bring the world's most innovative people to Google and provide the programs that help them thrive. Whether recruiting the next great 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.
