Our team combines expertise in healthcare, data science and technology to improve the health and well-being of our communities. We are developing the infrastructure and solutions to harness the profusion of health information for good. Our data-driven solutions span three primary areas: research, care and innovation. Programs include Project Baseline - our research initiative to increase participation and evidence generation in clinical research; Onduo - our personalized virtual care platform, which includes connected tools, lifestyle coaching and clinical support; and Debug - our effort to reduce the threat of mosquito-borne diseases by combining machine learning with sterile insect technique. We're also actively working to combat the spread of COVID-19 through new programs like Healthy at Work.

The Verily People Operations team is looking for a Human Resources Business Partner who will be responsible for executing our organizational and people-related strategy as well as partnering with Verily's leaders and employees.

You'll be an emerging business partner who is interested in learning the multidisciplinary nature of business partnering.
