Google wants to reward Googlers in meaningful ways, and our employee stock program is an important part of doing this. The Stock Administration team oversees all of our global stock programs to help Googlers make the most of their investments. As a member of the team, you provide stock plan analysis and drive innovative changes in our program by finding best practices and developments in laws. You partner with other functions such as Legal (to ensure ongoing compliance) and Finance (for internal and external reporting). You’re able to help those who are unfamiliar with stocks navigate the complexities of the system using clear communications and training resources created in partnership with the People Operations team. When Googlers ask, you listen carefully and constantly look for ways that give Googlers the best bang for their equity buck.

As a Stock Administrator, Head of Global Communications and Education, you will be joining a high-performing Stock Admin team to help administer Google’s innovative stock plan programs. You’re an adaptable top performer who will be a key contributor in a fast-paced growth environment. In addition to standard stock administration duties, the role will include the implementation of tax compliance programs in EMEA, design of enhanced audit processes, cross-functional engagement with our Engineering teams to develop new stock admin tools and employee education. You will have a proven stock admin track record in global, high tech companies and you are a quick learner with the desire to excel in all areas of work. Your work history should also demonstrate the ability to thrive in a rapidly evolving environment and to achieve results with minimal managerial oversight.

The name Google came from “”googol,”” a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. And nobody at Google loves big numbers like the Finance team when providing in depth analysis on all manner of strategic decisions across Google products. From developing forward-thinking analysis to generating management reports to scaling our automated financial processes, the Finance organization is an important partner and advisor to the business.
