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.

As the Manager of Administration Outreach on the Federal Affairs team, you'll design and lead Google's engagement with the White House and US federal government agencies in support of Google's public policy agenda. You'll build trusted relationships with US Executive Branch officials at all levels, and help educate them on Google's products and policy priorities, while tracking various Administration initiatives and analyzing their potential impact on Google’s business.
