About the job

As a member of Google’s Government Affairs and Public Policy team, you will be part of a diverse global government affairs team, working across regions, product areas, and functions. You will combine creativity and intellectual excellence with the organizational skills to manage various campaigns, projects and initiatives. In this role, you will 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.

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.

Responsibilities

  • Identify policy issues that affect Google, understand the impact on Google business and users, and participate in policy campaigns with specific goals to support a policy or set of policies.
  • Monitor and research public policy issues considering how Google should work with allied organizations and industries and work with business-area leadership, Legal, Marketing, Trust and Safety, and Public Relations to develop and launch policy-friendly products.
  • Build relationships with collaborators for supporting open digital ecosystems, they include developers, manufacturers, and other industry stakeholders. Understand their interests and identify areas of alignment and potential misalignment.
  • Assess the need for industry associations in the APAC region, develop plans, and partner with other Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) teams to ensure consistency and alignment.
