About The Job

People Operations (POps) 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.

Google is going through a massive transformation with AI, and we have to be part of leading this change. Our People Strategy is aligned to Google's objectives and to deliver, we will need to focus on three things: putting users at the center of our work, organizing our teams to improve collaboration and execution, and applying the latest advances in AI and technology to POps.

At the core of that strategy is a new organization centered on delivering helpful, connected AI-enabled experiences that solve Googler's needs - our POps Products organization.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $211,000-$297,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
