About the role
We are looking for a strategic, well-rounded HR Business Partner (HRBP) to help shape how we attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent. This is a highly cross-functional role that blends strategic HR partnership with organizational design, manager coaching, talent planning, and people analytics. In this role, you will work closely with leaders, managers, and cross-functional partners (Recruiting, Finance, Legal, and People Operations) to understand business priorities and translate them into practical, impactful people plans.
Our ideal candidate is a versatile HRBP who understands the unique needs of both technical (engineering, product, AI/ML) and non-technical (operations, corporate) teams. You enjoy learning and thrive in a small-team, fast-paced environment where priorities can shift. You are passionate about building equitable, inclusive structures, and are equally comfortable coaching managers through complex talent challenges or rolling up your sleeves to implement practical solutions. While you have a solid working knowledge of compensation principles to advise leaders, you do not need to be a dedicated compensation specialist.

Coach and guide managers on leadership effectiveness, performance management, employee development, team dynamics, and sensitive employee relations.
Advise managers on complex people and employee relations matters with empathy, discretion, and sound judgment.
Act as a trusted advisor and coach to help managers scale alongside the business.
People Insights & Cross-Functional Partnership
Use people analytics and data-driven insights to identify trends, diagnose organizational problems, and make proactive recommendations.
Build reporting and people analytics that provide leaders with meaningful visibility into attrition, hiring, organizational health, and team-specific trends.
Partner cross-functionally with Recruiting, People Operations, Finance, Legal, and other People partners to design and deliver seamless HR programs.
Compensation & People Programs
Bring practical working knowledge of compensation to advise leaders on salary structures, leveling frameworks, and pay decisions within the Alphabet context.
Support key compensation planning processes, leveling initiatives, and annual compensation cycles.
Partner with Staffing and hiring managers to guide competitive, equitable offer creation for new hires.
What we’re looking for
8+ years of progressive HR experience, including significant experience as an HR Business Partner directly supporting business leaders.
Demonstrated experience applying core compensation and leveling principles within an HRBP role, supporting annual compensation planning and offer formulation.
Proven ability to partner with leaders to translate business strategies into actionable workforce plans, team structures, and capability-development strategies.
Strong analytical capabilities with experience using people data and analytics to diagnose trends, identify challenges, and measure program impact.
Outstanding communication and facilitation skills, with a track record of presenting clear recommendations and driving alignment with senior leaders.
Strong judgment, high discretion, and a proven ability to navigate complex and sensitive employee relations and organizational change with empathy.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on, scrappy execution in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
It would be great if you had these
HRBP experience in a high-growth technology company or environment.
Experience supporting engineering, product, or other deeply technical organizations (such as AI/ML teams).
Experience supporting non-technical, commercial, or corporate functions.
Proven experience designing and implementing organizational design, talent planning, retention strategies, and change management initiatives.
Familiarity with Google/Alphabet systems, tools, and processes.
Practical experience with compensation planning and leveling.
A mission-driven passion for building world‑changing teams from the ground up and helping them scale.
