Job Details

Posted date: Aug 28, 2025

Location: Seattle, WA

Level: Director

Estimated salary: $254,000
Range: $211,000 - $297,000


Description

Partner across all facets of People Operations (POps), build a cohesive, compelling POps narrative helping us tell a consistent, inspiring story. Write compelling content across a wide range of formats (articles, video scripts, presentations, etc.) for POps LT. Partner with Global Communications and Public Affairs (GCPA), find intentional moments to tell our story inside and outside of Google. Measure the effectiveness of key messages and campaigns on Googler and Leader sentiment and make targeted investments and improvement. Follow and be fluent in HR industry trends and advancements; connect the dots between these trends and your work.

You’ll be part of Velocity’s newly established POps Engagement team whose mission is to elevate POps’ brand internally and externally by building emotional connection and trust to achieve organizational goals.

If you’re the person for this role, you love to write and have tons of experience doing so. You will have the perspective to craft simple, inspiring stories that connect POps offerings, mission and broader industry viewpoints with ease. You can take a topic like performance management or people development and turn it into a story to rival the best from Tolkien or Hemingway.

Beyond being a communicator, you have a point of view on most things, and can articulate the reasons why. You aren’t just open to new ideas and new ways of thinking, but you seek them out. You get excited when you think of new ways to convince others of your ideas, and equally excited when they give you new ways to think of theirs.

You embrace the ambiguity inherent in building something from the ground up and are excited by the opportunity to help define how POps Engagement gets brought to life.
