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 Communications Manager, you'll have an interest in the media and will communicate about Google effectively. You will also have the organizational skills to manage numerous projects at once - preparing presentations and written materials that communicate key messages, cultivating relationships with media outlets, and coordinating with colleagues across the globe.

As part of the Internal Communications team, you’ll work cross-functionally to tell the story of Google in our Emerging Markets team, across Russian, the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa. You’ll manage large-scale internal communications across the region. As an Internal Communications Manager for our most diverse region, you’ll highlight innovation and product excellence across multiple product areas.

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.
