E-3 Visa Technical Communicator Jobs

INTRODUCTION

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 the Technical Communications Manager for Technology & Society, you will sit at the intersection of breakthrough innovation and its broader impact on the world. You will work closely with researchers, engineers, and policy experts to demystify complex technical developments and frontier AI research. You are a storyteller who can navigate high-level technical white papers and prestigious scientific journals as easily as a media briefing.

You will develop communication strategies that emphasize transparency, rigour, and the human impact of the work. Whether you are breaking down the benefits of new AI compression techniques, explaining next-generation neural architectures, or exploring the evolutionary philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (AI), you will ensure the technical progress is understood and contextualized within the broader societal, press and competitive landscape. 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.
