**About the job**:
The Centers of Excellence (COE) organization is the strategic hub within Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP), providing issue and functional expertise, ensuring a central global perspective on the policy issues affecting our business, and developing strategies and positions for Google’s regulatory and political engagement. Within COE, the Privacy, Safety, and Security (PSS) COE is responsible for this mission in relation to privacy, security, children's safety, government access to data, and the intersection of artificial intelligence with these issues.

As a member of the team, you'll provide policy expertise on a range of issues related to privacy and security in the region. You will shape Google’s approach to diverse policy topics such as enterprise and consumer cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, international security, data protection, data free flows with trust, and children’s privacy. You deeply understand the APAC political, regulatory, and business context, are comfortable getting into the details on privacy or security, and like to connect dots to form a broader strategic perspective.
Google takes its responsibilities seriously, including engaging with government and other stakeholders on important public policy challenges. The Government Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) team leads the company’s engagement with executive branch officials, legislators, regulators and third-parties in the formation of public policy. Working closely with Google leaders, GAPP seeks to identify key policy issues, listen carefully to others’ views and opinions, and distill and share the company’s perspective on those issues with external stakeholders. While we focus on challenges affecting the internet, our issue areas are increasingly broad and encompass many areas where public policy, business, and technology intersect.

**Responsibilities**:

- Develop strategies and provide issue expertise on security and privacy policy matters across all Google products.
- Shape Google’s approach to diverse policy topics (i.e., enterprise and consumer cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, international security, data protection, data free flows with trust, and children’s privacy).
- Partner with cross-functional and local teammates to drive our holistic strategy in the APAC region, engage in regulatory responses, and represent Google publicly across the APAC region.
- Monitor and analyze regional policies and develop company-wide positions, narratives, collateral, and programming.
- Engage with policymakers and issue groups on relevant regulatory, legislative, and policy initiatives, including through in-person engagements primarily in the APAC region.
