You will understand what influences decision-makers and the broader media and cultural landscape. You will bring creative goals, media literacy, and tactical instincts to help Google cut through a fragmented information ecosystem. To succeed, you pair sharp political and corporate acumen with the ability to navigate ambiguous, fast-moving environments, pilot new formats, and build scalable creative playbooks where none exist.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
