About the job

The Go-to-Market Operations organization ensures Google's complex and ever-evolving business runs smoothly. We are instrumental in setting go-to-market strategy, and ensuring outstanding execution and operations against the strategy. We have teams embedded in each of the major Ads business areas as well as global teams that work across the business areas. The Business Strategy and Operations team provides business critical insights using analytics, ensures cross-functional alignment of goals and execution, and helps teams drive strategic partnerships and new initiatives forward. We stay focused on aligning the highest-level company priorities with effective day-to-day operations, and help evolve early stage ideas into future-growth initiatives. As the Strategic Outreach and Engagement Lead, you will closely collaborate with the Government Affairs and Public Policy team in implementing local engagement programs for the region.

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

• Support the Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) team in executing a strategy for consistent and meaningful engagement with key stakeholders (e.g., policymakers, think tanks, NGOs, academics, business customers, industry leaders, etc.).
• Support the GAPP team in developing cross-functional partnerships and relationships with executives’ teams in EMEA to create meaningful agendas for executive engagements and ensure the appropriate internal participants are included.
• Plan strategic engagements between Google executives and government officials/business stakeholders, including event planning and coordination; support externally-facing strategic outreach efforts, such as campaigns, in-region executive visits, and roadshows.
• Play a key role in coordinating, composing and editing written materials, such as briefing documents, letters, and talking points; manage the cross-functional process for development, tracking and updating of the stakeholder engagement list.
• Support the GAPP team in public affairs operations and projects.
