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.

You will be responsible for monitoring, analyzing and managing legislation and public policy issues related to our products with state and local policy makers, and work collaboratively with members of the Government Affairs and Public Policy team and product leads across the company to help deliver legislative outcomes.

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.
