You're a systems thinker who executes—zooming out for strategy, zooming in to move work forward. You're comfortable with ambiguous, cross-functional work with senior stakeholders, energized by transformation, and data-driven in your approach. Change management skills and passion for building healthy, inclusive organizations are essential. This is a remote role with occasional travel to Mountain View HQ required.
