Requirements
  • You are a strategic operator who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • You excel at managing information flow, prioritizing what truly matters, and serving as an extension of a senior leader.
  • You have strong business acumen and quickly develop a deep understanding of an organization’s mission, priorities, and stakeholders.
  • You’re a natural relationship builder — empathetic, trusted, and able to collaborate with leadership, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders with ease.
  • Project and program management are among your standout strengths, and you’re known for delivering complex initiatives with clarity and momentum.
  • You have strong communication skills, including the ability to draft executive-level emails, presentations, and follow-ups.
  • You’re highly organized, detail-oriented, and motivated by helping a team operate smoothly behind the scenes.
  • Bonus points if you love problem-solving, are unflappable under pressure, and can translate strategy into practical, actionable next steps.
Responsibilities
  • Acting as a strategic advisor to the Head of Economic and Community Development, helping prioritize time, information, and organizational focus.
  • Developing a strong understanding of the Economic and Community Development mission, projects, and the broader Google business to inform decision-making and operate as a reliable proxy when needed.
  • Leading and managing cross-functional projects from kick-off to completion, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and timely delivery.
  • Facilitating communication and collaboration across key internal partners (Finance, Global Digital Communications, Legal), Google leadership, and external stakeholders.
  • Serving as the gatekeeper for the executive’s priorities — managing approvals, administrative requests, budgets, travel, and time-sensitive decisions with daily check-ins.
  • Planning, structuring, and facilitating organizational meetings — including staff meetings, offsites, and business reviews — with clear agendas, productive discussions, and actionable outcomes.
  • Tracking deadlines, key actions, and follow-ups across all stakeholder groups to maintain momentum and operational excellence.
  • Creating quick-turn decks, slides, and visual materials for executive and leadership-level reviews using existing data, dashboards, and team resources.
  • Drafting executive communications, including emails, meeting recaps, handoffs to the leadership team, presentations, and reports.
  • Streamlining internal processes, improving workflows, and ensuring organizational clarity and accountability.
Desired Qualifications
  • None, since after filtering the text for non-trivial items, the job posting does not list any "desirable" or "preferred" qualifications.
