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 an Employee Relations and Investigations Partner, within the Employee Relations and Investigations team in Europe the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), you will conduct and/or advise on, in conjunction with other Global Investigations teams, EMEA based investigations including grievances/disciplinaries and hotline complaints. Using your knowledge of applicable local employment laws and practices, you will draft and develop appropriate investigation documentation and recommendations.

You will interpret policies and procedures and advise EMEA based People Partners and People Consultants on fair and equitable employment practices. This is currently an individual contributor role.

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.
