As a Senior Analyst on the Platform and Devices Product Specialist team, you will be responsible for supporting and driving multiple affirmative policy campaigns in collaboration with executive members of the group. These are generally campaigns where Google is partnering with other industry participants and policy stakeholders to improve regulatory frameworks in the areas of technological innovation, consumer safety, and product quality standards.

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.
