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’s Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) organization leads the company’s engagement with governments and relevant third parties in the formation and execution of public policy that benefits innovation and tech progress. As a member of our organization, you will help educate policymakers and key opinion formers, advise internal teams on the political landscape, and work across Google to develop coherent, strategic plans to advocate for Google’s public policy priorities.
The GAPP Platforms & Devices Products team focuses on Android, Play, Chrome & Pixel product areas to advise on public policy issues.
