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.
The Centers of Excellence (COE) within Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) is a vital hub for strategy and expertise, ensuring Google maintains a truly global perspective on public policy. We are subject matter experts who transcend boundaries to inform, protect, and advance the goals of the company, users, and society. The Competition Policy COE specifically manages issues related to antitrust and competition policy globally.
