About the job
As a member of Google’s Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) team, you'll be part of a global government affairs team, working across regions, product areas, and functions. You’ll manage various campaigns, projects and initiatives, advocate for Google, and 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.
In this role, you will be responsible for the strategic planning, execution, and oversight of the company's PAC and political giving activities at the federal and state level. You will work closely with other members of the GAPP team to ensure the political giving program advances the company's external relationships and public policy priorities.
In addition, you will be directly supporting the development and execution of strategic advocacy initiatives in Texas, leveraging your understanding of politics, policy, and state level organizations to execute initiatives aligned to our US and Texas policy priorities.
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.
