About the job
You will be part of a team dedicated to demonstrating how Google’s platforms and devices empower EMEA businesses, developers, and users. Operating at the intersection of technology, government affairs, and strategic communications, you will play a central role in planning and executing proactive public policy campaigns, scaling high-impact thought leadership, and building modern alliances in the AI era. This role requires exceptional organizational ability, strong cross-functional communication skills, and a genuine curiosity about technology ecosystems and public policy. This is an exciting opportunity to gain broad exposure across critical tech policy files while delivering high-impact campaigns, external engagements, and thought leadership initiatives. You will collaborate closely with Government Affairs and Public Policy colleagues across EMEA, as well as an extensive network of cross-functional partners across Communications, Marketing, Business Development, Regulatory Affairs, and Trust & Safety.
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
- Help deliver high-profile external engagements, including executive meetings, policy events, policy communications and marketing. Work with the team to deliver new policy positions, high-quality briefing materials, talking points, and other external collateral.
- Engage with key external stakeholders on important topics, and support the modernization and activation of third-party alliances. Help the Platforms and Devices (P&D) product area to understand and respond to the external political and regulatory environment, working with Government Affairs and other colleagues.
- Manage affirmative external campaigns across EMEA, ensuring tight operational tracking, clear delivery, and cross-functional execution.
- Identify proactive engagement opportunities and help mitigate emerging risks on the important policy topics for P&D (cyber security, online safety, youth protection, competition, growth and innovation).
- Build and maintain working relationships with global and regional cross-functional teams to deliver a unified 'One Google' external presence.
