About the job

As a member of Google's Government Affairs and Public Policy team, you'll be part of a diverse global government affairs team, working across regions, product areas, and functions. You'll combine creativity and intellectual excellence with the organizational skills to manage various campaigns, projects and initiatives. In this role, you'll advocate for Google to bring external perspectives back into the company to inform our perception and direction. You're passionate about the opportunity to shape the future of how we use and build technology for everyone.

In this role, you'll help shape Google's policy efforts across a variety of challenges that impact the company. You will coordinate with the global and regional policy teams, as well as key cross-functional partners in sales, marketing, legal, and PR to execute our policy strategy, develop our external narrative around key policy challenges, and advise leadership teams through the public policy lens. You'll develop, organize, manage, and communicate critical plans, initiatives, and strategies, while tracking various policy and regulatory proposals and analyzing their potential impact on Google's business.

Google takes its responsibilities seriously, including engaging with government and other stakeholders on important public policy challenges. The Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) team leads the company's engagement with executive branch officials, legislators, regulators and third-parties in the formation of public policy. Working closely with Google leaders, GAPP seeks to identify key policy issues, listen carefully to others' views and opinions, and distill and share the company's perspective on those issues with external stakeholders. While we focus on challenges affecting the internet, our issue areas are increasingly broad and encompass many areas where public policy, business, and technology intersect.
