Why We're Doing This Differently: Most job postings describe a role.
We’d rather describe a difference.
The City of Mountain View believes Human Resources is the heartbeat of the organization, and that we have to practice “Community for All” within our own workforce before we can help other departments practice it with the public.
This role is where that belief becomes real: one employee, one life event, one system at a time.
We’re also in a genuine moment of change.
The City is modernizing how it delivers benefits, and putting real investment behind wellness and financial security for its employees.
This isn’t a role about keeping things exactly as they are.
You’ll help shape the next version of how the City cares for its people, and help build the Mountain View of tomorrow, together.
Why Local Government: You could take these skills to a company down the road and probably earn a bigger number doing it.
Here’s what that number can’t buy.
Local government is the level of government closest to people’s everyday lives, the one that shows up in the parks, the libraries, the water that runs, and the streets that get fixed.
And the people who make all of that happen are the people you would take care of.
Think about who that is.
The firefighter.
The librarian.
The park maintenance crew.
When you get someone’s leave right, or their coverage, or the retirement they spent a career earning, you are looking after the people who look after everyone else in Mountain View.
There is no shareholder here and no product to sell.
The return on your work is a public one , measured in employees who feel supported enough to keep serving the community.
That is a purpose you can see out the window, and it is the reason this work matters more here than almost anywhere else you could do it.
Benefits and leaves are exactly that work.
It’s a conversation across a table with someone on the hardest week of their life.
It’s reading the room, catching what a form can’t tell you, and reassuring a person that their leave, their coverage, their retirement will be handled by someone who cares that it’s right.
That’s why this role is not fully remote, not so we can watch you work, but because the work itself is human, and it’s better done shoulder to shoulder.
It’s also why we value being together as a team.
Good things happen when people share the same space: ideas move faster, newer team members learn by watching how experienced colleagues handle a tricky moment, and the kind of trust that makes hard work feel lighter has room to grow.
It’s how we live out Community for All inside our own department first.
The person who thrives here values being present with colleagues and with the employees they serve, because the connection is the point.
