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.

In this role, you will be part of a small but growing (global) team of labor relations professionals. You will build and manage the relationship with local Labor Management Councils/Committees (LMCs), building on Google’s culture and values.

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.

  • Develop and deliver comprehensive training to improve labor relations acumen and skills across HR and main stakeholders.
  • Be a trusted and expert advisor to HR and management on complex labor relations issues in Japan by monitoring and analyzing internal and external trends, regulatory changes and provide strategic and tactical guidance for HR and leaders.
  • Partner with and influence Business HR, policy owners, and others to successfully implement business-specific or corporate-wide initiatives, programs, and policies through efficient information and consultation processes.
