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.

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:


  • Develop Google's affirmative strategy on trade policy, market access, and engagement in the APAC and Emerging Markets regions.
  • Work with governments to develop policies that advance economic and societal opportunities and technological engagement.
  • Work closely with crossfunctional teams to address emerging digital barriers related to digital goods and services, hardware, and technical infrastructure.
  • Advocate for inclusion of technologyrelated provisions in bilateral, regional, and multilateral agreements.
