About Tapestry

Tapestry is Alphabet’s moonshot for the electric grid, working at the frontier where energy’s complexity meets AI’s potential. We were born at X, the innovation lab responsible for breakthrough technologies like Waymo, Verily and Google Brain.

To keep pace with humanity’s growing energy needs, the world needs a grid that is visible and understandable. We provide that clarity by building advanced, AI-enabled analytical and planning tools that allow the entire energy ecosystem to plan smarter, move faster, and operate more efficiently—ensuring electricity remains reliable and affordable for everyone.

This is a global effort. Tapestry is proud to support partners in the U.S., U.K., Chile, New Zealand, Australia and Brazil as they build a cleaner, more resilient energy future. 

Joining Tapestry allows you to do the best work of your life as part of a multidisciplinary team of experts in AI, energy systems, software engineering and product design—all collaborating to reshape energy on a global scale. If you want to tackle problems that matter and build tools with real impact, we would love to meet you. Learn more about our team and our mission here.

About the role 

You’ll join the small, high-impact Tapestry People & Talent team as our first dedicated operations leader, responsible for building and scaling the infrastructure behind how we hire, onboard, and support our team.

This is a builder role. You won’t just run processes , you’ll design and improve them from the ground up.

You’ll partner closely across Talent, People Operations, and leadership to create scalable systems, workflows, and programs that enable Tapestry to grow efficiently while maintaining a high bar for candidate and employee experience.

This role will initially focus on Talent and People Operations, with scope evolving as we continue to define the long-term operating model across HR, systems, and programs.

What You’ll Do

Core Focus (Day 1 Priorities)

• Build and optimize onboarding and offboarding processes to ensure a seamless employee experience
• Partner with Talent to improve recruiting operations, including workflows, data accuracy, and candidate experience
• Manage and enhance systems such as Greenhouse and Workday to support both HR and Talent teams
• Establish scalable HROps processes that reduce friction and improve operational efficiency

Expanded Scope (As We Scale)

• Support global mobility efforts, including location strategy and international expansion
• Partner with HRBPs on compensation cycles, including offer processes and planning support
• Contribute to compliance-related processes such as immigration, background checks, and audits
• Identify opportunities for automation and continuous process improvement across People and Talent functions

Our ideal candidate is a curious analyst, detail-oriented operator, and a natural process-improver. You enjoy learning and thrive in a small-team, fast-paced environment where priorities can shift daily. You have a passion for working the magic behind the scenes, navigating complex systems in large ecosystems like Alphabet, and can be resourceful and scrappy to find the solutions for employee queries or gaps in processes. 

What you should have:

• 5+ years of experience with internal HR operations and processes at Google and/or other Alphabet organizations
• Passion for operational excellence and process improvements
• Direct experience working with core People/HR systems ( like Workday) and Applicant Tracking Systems ( like Greenhouse).
• Exceptional attention to detail and meticulous execution in managing time-sensitive operational tasks (e.g., transfers, compliance).
• A strong learning mindset and a proactive, curious approach to solving problems.

It'd be great if you had these:

• Experience partnering with and presenting data-driven insights to senior leaders and stakeholders.
• Proven experience designing, maintaining, and articulating processes & programs and how they tie to our business goals
• A deep, mission-driven passion for grid and energy, and building world-changing teams from the ground up.
• Experience working in high-growth or early-stage environments
• Experience supporting global teams or mobility programs

• Take charge: We take initiative and own outcomes that move the mission forward.
• Transform with purpose: We build solutions that solve real problems and create meaningful impact.
• Be a Tapestry, not a thread: We collaborate across diverse skills and perspectives to achieve more than we can individually.
• Always fine-tune: We stay curious, seek feedback, and refine our understanding as we learn.
• Stay grounded: We listen openly, value different perspectives, and stay focused on what matters most.

What we offer:

A culture that supports growth, ownership, and meaningful impact, along with…

• Competitive salary and equity
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous PTO and flexible hybrid work model
• 401(k) with employer contribution
• Professional development
