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 for Business-to-Business (B2B), you will work with cross-functional teams at Google Germany (e.g., Large Customer Sales, Partnerships, Marketing), regional B2B, and other Communications leads to develop our overall B2B communication strategy and support Google's business objectives. You will develop partner stories and craft press briefings, organize/host press events and create an overall narrative on how our Ads and Commerce solutions help businesses of all sizes thrive. You will also work closely with other cross-functional teams in the region and position our business leaders.
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.
