About the job

At Google, data drives all of our decision-making, and our HR organization is no exception. The People Analytics team acts as an internal innovation lab, using analytical approaches to make sure Google continues to be a great place to work. The team provides critical support to the business around issues of organizational health and is responsible for not just taking the pulse of our Googlers, but harnessing Googler feedback to drive change for the better. As an analyst you'll be detail-oriented and conscientious, analytical and curious. You're a strong problem-solver, who uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to get things done. And on top of it all, you're someone who wonders \"What if?\" and then seeks out the solution.

As a Reporting and Insights People Analyst, you will be an internal analytical consultant aligned to our geographically aligned HR partners (Market HR). You will serve as the primary analytic point of contact (POC) for Market HR. Your knowledge of people data and business context will enable you to provide action-oriented analyses to ensure our HR organization, and their clients, deeply understand the people and organizational dynamics in the markets they are responsible for. Through your analytics and storytelling, you will help the business set and execute a well informed people strategy.

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.
