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 and bring external perspectives back into the company to inform its perception and direction. You’re passionate about the opportunity to shape the future of how we use and build technology for everyone.

The International Government Affairs (IGA) team focuses on building relationships with foreign policy leaders to advance global tech policy. The IGA team supports the company in pursuing business development opportunities and resolving global policy issues. The IGA team’s expertise is structured in two ways: Regional Specialists engage with Washington, DC-based stakeholders to address policy issues that affect Google’s operations in specific regions around the world; and International Organization Leads direct Google’s engagement with key international bodies such as the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The team is dedicated to fostering dialogue and finding solutions that benefit both Google and the global communities it serves.

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 the team focuses on challenges affecting the internet, its issue areas are increasingly broad and encompass many areas where public policy, business, and technology intersect.
