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 Google grows, so do the operational complexities, compliance risks, and cultural nuances that are unique to the markets, sites, countries, and regions where Googlers work. To address these complexities, our Market Human Resources (HR) teams offer a structured, location-based approach for delivering HR support. In this role, you will set the market-specific HR strategy for Google’s local workforce to identify and mitigate legal and regulatory risks, grow our culture, and manage unique people challenges. You will work with counterparts across EMEA and the greater People Operations and HR teams.

Great just isn't good enough for our People Operations team (you probably know us better as "Human Resources"). Made up of equal parts HR professionals, former consultants, and analysts, we're the advocates of Google's colorful culture. 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 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.

Responsibilities

• Mitigate risks, nurture culture, and manage unique people challenges. Bring deep HR knowledge within EMEA markets, specifically with employment law, culture, and the talent landscape and manage executive HR professionals. 
  
• Balance strategic and tactical work when needed, analyzing risk identification and resolution as well as surfacing those themes to inform and drive the Market HR Strategy. 
  
• Utilize thought leadership, insights, and experience in a variety of additional HR areas, foster a customer-focused mindset, and deliver solutions to employees, teams, and business leaders. 
  
• Partner with global Market counterparts and bring cohesion to Google’s global presence.
