Compensation Manager - Mountain View

The area: Human Resources, Compensation

Compensation is the department that sets the parameters for each major pay element at Google: salaries, bonuses and stock awards. The team ensures that Google pay meets our goal of being highly competitive with other companies. In addition to establishing both initial and ongoing rates of pay consistent with the Google philosophy, we also encourage, recognize and reward outstanding – and astounding – levels of performance.

The role: Compensation Manager

The Compensation Manager is responsible for managing a significant part of Google’s compensation program; for example, benchmarking processes, bonus planning, option grants and salary reviews. You bring experience working with clients in an analytical capacity and are interested in working in a cross-functional environment here. If you're in the earlier stages of your career, you'll be taking on more discrete tasks and be exposed to the domains of compensation or performance management. As you advance, the scope and complexity of your responsibilities will grow in breadth and depth. You’ll work in such areas as managing the components of our global compensation programs, or you’ll become more of an expert and "go-to" person in specific areas.

Positions available include roles on broad-based and executive compensation teams.

Responsibilities:

• Assess existing programs and practices to identify opportunities for improvement with other Managers, Compensation Analysts and HR Business Partners.
• Help design company-wide programs related to salaries, cash incentives and equity compensation, and performance management.
• Frame problems related to Google's decisions in People Operations and solve them by collaborating on quantitative and qualitative analyses with other Compensation team members and with cross-functional business partners.
• Develop, implement and communicate policies, processes and systems to support programs on an on-going basis.

Requirements:

• BA or BS degree in economics, business administration or another field that uses quantitative analysis from a top university (MBA or relevant graduate degree preferred).
• Experience in framing and collaboratively solving highly complex problems through quantitative and qualitative analysis in a team-based environment.
• Interest in and/or exposure to project management.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Solutions oriented, with an emphasis on creativity.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Interest in industrial psychology and organizational design preferred, as is experience in compensation consulting.
