Description

As a member of the Security Center of Excellence (COE) within the broader team, you will provide policy expertise on a range of issues relating to intersection of geopolitical conflict and technology policy, including policy and regulation related to cybersecurity, supply chain security, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. You combine expertise with an interest in building coalitions and strategic partnerships, and help shape Google's participation in a range of external forums. You understand the U.S. and global political and regulatory contexts on tech policy, cyber security, and national security. You have an interest in looking around corners to anticipate the evolution of the policy debate.

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.
