About the job
From hire to retire, the People Experience (PX) organization delivers personalized end-to-end global processes that delight candidates and Googlers. PX teams span Recruiting, Analytics and Planning, HR Operations, Vendor Management, Service Model Excellence and People Consultant/Market HR employee support.
The Planning, Analytics, and Insights (PAI) team exists to enable magical experiences during the moments that matter at scale for Googlers and candidates. We deliver actionable insights that drive operational performance and resource effectiveness for today, and in the future.
As Director, you will contribute to the development of the strategy, outlook, and desired outcomes to forge a path forward for the global PX organization. You will provide executive-level oversight for planning, analytics, and insights programs that define the future of the Googler and candidate experience. You will be an architect of a functional shift, leveraging advanced business planning and change management to evolve the employee care portfolio from a reactive support model into a proactive, strategic engine powered by personal intelligence, agentified workflows, and human amplification.
In this role, you will act as a trusted advisor and relationship-based coach to executive leadership, leading the cross-functional integration of People Experience Operations and Solutions (PXoS) by synthesizing complex analytical insights. You will anticipate, seek out, and define ambiguous integration problems across disparate HR streams, solving them with bespoke solutions and overcoming cross-functional barriers. Ultimately, you will optimize resources, enforce strict return on investment governance, and drive key efforts in partnership with AI practitioners to ensure AI adoption transforms legacy inefficiencies into future-ready, synergized systems.
