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.
The Centers of Excellence (COE) organization is the strategic hub within Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP), providing issue and functional expertise, horizon-scanning for the policy issues affecting our business and ensuring a central global perspective on these, and developing strategies and positions for Google’s regulatory and political engagement. Within COE, the Privacy, Safety, and Security (PSS) COE is responsible for this mission in relation to privacy, security, child safety, government access to data, and the intersection of artificial intelligence with these issues.
As a member of the team, you will provide policy expertise on a range of issues relating to privacy. In this role, you will shape Google’s approach to diverse policy topics such as law enforcement access to data, surveillance laws, international data flows, and help shape Google's participation in a range of external forums. You understand the U.S. and global political and regulatory contexts on privacy and government surveillance. You have a keen interest in looking around corners to anticipate the evolution of the policy debate.
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
- Contribute to the development of Google’s policy strategy on diverse privacy topics such as government surveillance and law enforcement access to data, encryption, international data flows, and a range of questions arising from new privacy laws and regulations, partnering with policy teammates and cross-functional colleagues in the US and globally.
- Analyze current and proposed policies, and identify and monitor privacy policy issues that may affect Google.
