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 key member of the YouTube Reputation & Responsibility team, you will be at the front lines of shaping the narrative around one of the world's most influential platforms. You aren't just managing press; you are building deep, trust-based relationships with media, digital commentators, and industry thought leaders. Your mission is to advocate for YouTube's story, specifically navigating the complex and evolving landscape of global regulation and platform responsibility. Your focus will be on building proactive campaigns and rapid response strategies to advance this goal, and effectively use various levers (briefings, blog posts, social/video, etc.) to get the message across.

It's our job to 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. To succeed here, you'll combine creativity with organizational skills to manage multiple projects with tight deadlines simultaneously, as well as enjoy pitching to journalists, bloggers and commentators, or producing internal communications and events for our employees. Things happen quickly at Google and to get stuff done here you need to be an enthusiastic team player who can work cross-functionally and isn't hesitant to take risks or try new things.
