Administrative Business Partner

X is Alphabet’s moonshot factory. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.

This is a fixed-term contract position for 12 months

About The Role And The Team

As an Administrative Business Partner (ABP), you are at the heart of your team’s operations and culture. You partner closely with the leaders you support, to anticipate and resolve operational and administrative issues.

Our team of Executive and Administrative Business Partners at X is a tight knit community that supports one another and values collaboration among each other and across the portfolio of teams each of us support. Our ideal candidate will be able to act independently and proactively, while also contributing to and continuing to build our ABP team. We are working together to make the impossible possible, and we know our ABPs are the lightning rods who bring our teams to life!
