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 Google’s Data Center (DC) footprint undergoes significant hyper-scale growth

to support AI-driven infrastructure, we are excited to hire a Lead Site HR

Business Partner for our DC in Austria. As a Lead Site HR Business Partner, you

will be the core on-site HR partner for the DC team on all HR topics. In this

generalist role, you will be the advocate for Google’s culture and values on the

ground, acting as a proactive thought partner for Site Leads and managers to

foster a high-trust, direct-engagement culture. Your role is critical in

mitigating labor risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and protecting Google's

operational resilience as we scale.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.
