Government Affairs and Public Policy Manager

Google · Sydney NSW, Australia

As a member of Google’s Government Affairs and Public Policy team, you'll be part of a global government affairs team, working across regions, product areas, and functions. You’ll combine creativity and intellectual excellence with the organizational skills to manage various campaigns, projects and initiatives. 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.

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.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7 years of experience in public affairs, government relations, or policy advocacy.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Comprehensive knowledge of Australian digital economic policy, tech regulatory landscape, and the unique political dynamics of frontier markets.
  • Ability to manage high-stakes, fast-moving programs and anticipate future policy impacts in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
  • Ability to translate complex research into emotionally resonant content and visual assets (infographics, video) that shift regional narratives.
  • Ability to leverage a strong professional network of Key Opinion Formers (KOFs), academics, and industry councils across Australia.
