About the job

The Google Compliance team makes sure that our business is always consistent with the current financial regulations. Comprised of multitaskers, this team balances Google's legal and compliance requirements with the dynamic needs of our users and the values of our company. As part of this team, you proactively identify pain points and gaps in existing policy frameworks and find innovative solutions. You develop efficient compliance systems and work with teams to implement these across the organization. You are thorough in all you do and see to it that as Google pursues our next big idea, we always have our bases covered.

The Risk and Compliance team within Extended Workforce Solutions (xWS) functions as a critical second line of defense, ensuring Google adheres to global laws and regulations regarding its contingent workforce. By identifying risks, designing controls, and conducting audits, the team protects Google's brand while empowering employees to operate within a compliant framework.

As the Program Manager, you will lead the Risk and Compliance Governance function, taking primary responsibility for the frameworks and processes that define how the program operates and reports.

In this role, you will synthesize complex data into proactive narratives for leadership, ensuring the xWS program remains healthy, data-driven, and aligned with broader corporate standards. By bridging the gap between technical AI innovation and regulatory oversight, you will play a pivotal role in scaling Google's risk management capabilities.
