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.

At Google, our Market Consultants are known for deep subject matter expertise in HR programs, processes, and execution in their particular market. They work closely with all areas of People Operations to execute on and operationalize Google Switzerland’s People Strategy.

As a Market Consultant, you will lead change in a number of areas, including labor relations, strategic capability, manager effectiveness, policy and process, culture and engagement, and incident response. You'll offer a trusted and knowledgeable perspective around HR matters as it relates to the market, internally and externally. You will work seamlessly across multiple partners and business stakeholders to collaborate effectively and represent the needs of Google. You will proactively seek out opportunities to make improvements to the Googler experience, taking ideas through to completion.

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.
