About the job

As a member of the Global Communications & Public Affairs team, you will work cross-functionally to help communicate with journalists and other thought leaders; devise specific communications materials and campaigns; engage in face-to-face meetings with commentators and other opinion formers; and develop print and web-based material supporting these campaigns. We're looking for great communicators who can understand complex issues and explain them in person and also via well written, simple blog posts, FAQs, video scripts and more.

As a Multicultural Communications Manager, you'll have the unique opportunity to chart the way forward for how Google engages with diverse audiences (Black, Latino, etc.) across the country and share culturally relevant stories about Google's mission, products and impact.

You'll work cross-functionally with our Product, Marketing, and Policy teams to shape our communications strategy, engage with journalists daily and partner with media outlets and influencers. In this role, you will be on the front lines working with Black and/or Latino journalists across consumer, business and technology media outlets. You will be an experienced and driven communicator who can translate the complexities of technology in person and in writing.

We help inform and educate users, advertisers, partners, opinion leaders--and our own employees--about the benefits of Google's products, our distinctive company culture/values and our approach to the big public policy issues of the day. You are quick-witted, entrepreneurial and intellectually curious. To succeed in this role, you are willing to try new things and can manage numerous projects with tight deadlines. Things happen quickly at Google, and to do great work, you need to be an enthusiastic team player who can work cross-functionally with partners across PR, comms, marketing, product and beyond.
