About the job
As a member of Google’s Government Affairs and Public Policy team, you'll be part of a 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.
GAPP’s US Federal Affairs team leads the company’s engagement on federal public policy. Within that team, the External Affairs team manages relationships with national trade associations, think tanks, and issue advocacy groups. In this role, you will be specifically responsible for engaging with these national organizations on state policy issues. You will bring Google’s insights and perspectives to these groups. You will work closely with other members of the GAPP team to ensure our external engagement advances the company's relationships and public policy priorities.
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
- Manage and strengthen relationships with national trade associations, think tanks, and issue advocacy groups, serving as a primary liaison for state-level policy discussions.
- Develop and execute advocacy strategies to engage national third-party groups on critical state legislative and regulatory issues affecting the company.
