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.

This is a diverse global team, working across geographies, business areas and functions to help shape Google’s approach to content regulation and the future of the open web.

In this role, you will be part of a global team focused on policy and regulatory issues related to copyright, intellectual property and liability, and media/publishers, including issues related to Artificial Intelligence. In doing so, you will partner with product, legal, communications, government affairs, and trust and safety teams across the company to develop and execute our policy strategy, analyze and respond to new legislative and regulatory proposals, and craft our external narrative on key policy issues. You will provide subject matter expertise to internal stakeholders working on these issues and represent the company with government legislators and regulators, third-party experts, civil society organizations, and industry groups.

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.
