About The Job
As a Strategist, you will own the end-to-end design and execution of service and case management infrastructure transformations across People Operations (POps).

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.
