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

  • Support outreach and engage directly with policymakers, regulators, industry players, and key opinion formers in thoughtful dialogue on copyright and media policy issues.
  • Support the analysis and response to legislative and regulatory proposals, including helping to develop negotiating positions and strategy.
  • Work closely with Legal, Product, Engineering, Trust and Safety, and other teams across Google to advise on copyright and media policy issues, legislative and regulatory risks and opportunities, and responsible policy and product development.
  • Advocate for Google externally and bring external perspectives back into the company to inform our perception and direction.
  • Monitor and research current and relevant emerging public policy issues, with a focus on Europe. Develop policy positions, papers, and principles to shape the public debate regarding copyright and media policy issues.
