Google•Washington, DC

8d•$181,000 - $247,000

About The Position

Technology is transforming the global economy, society, and everyday life at unprecedented speed. From the rapid rise of foundational AI to critical debates over digital sovereignty, privacy, and economic competitiveness, the policy decisions made today will shape the next generation of human progress. Google’s Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) team is seeking an exceptional creative and media strategist to serve as our central content engine across major global advocacy initiatives. In this role, you will act as a primary creative translator—transforming complex technical, legal, and economic topics into compelling creative formats, clear digital narratives, and smart distribution strategies that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and key opinion formers. You will understand what influences decision-makers and the broader media and cultural landscape. You will bring creative goals, media literacy, and tactical instincts to help Google cut through a fragmented information ecosystem. To succeed, you pair sharp political and corporate acumen with the ability to navigate ambiguous, fast-moving environments, pilot new formats, and build scalable creative playbooks where none exist.

Experience directing external creative, design, or production agencies from concept to delivery.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Distill dense policy positions, economic research, and regulatory arguments into accessible, narratives across digital, visual, and non-traditional formats (e.g., interactive data visualizations, explainers, and short-form video).
