Communications Manager - Singapore

This position is based in Singapore.

The area: Communications

It's our job to help inform and educate consumers, partners and opinion formers about the benefits of Google's products, our distinctive business ethos and approach to the big public policy issues of the day. We are looking for quick witted, entrepreneurial and intellectually curious people to join the team. To succeed here you'll need to be able to combine creativity with the organizational skills to manage numerous different projects to tight deadlines simultaneously, as well enjoy pitching to all kinds of journalists, bloggers and commentators (we find it hard too!). Things happen quickly at Google and to get stuff done here you need to be an enthusiastic team player -- a self-starter who can work cross-functionally and isn't frightened to take risks or try out new ways of doing things.

The role: Communications Manager

As a member of the communications team based in Singapore you will work cross functionally (and with our team) to: (1) help communicate Google's products; (2) devise specific campaigns that establish solid contacts with journalists, face-to-face meetings with commentators and other opinion formers and develop print and web-based materials targeted at a range of different audiences; and (3) counter misinformation and mitigate negative media coverage that might lead to unnecessary regulation or interfere with our business and ability to serve our users in other ways. We're looking for a very strong writer who can process complex issues - through blog posts, FAQs, video scripts and more - and explain them in clear language internally and externally.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with Google engineering and product teams to create compelling demonstrations that illustrate the functionality and key benefits of new Google products and services.
• Develop written materials, including messaging guidelines, press releases, Q&As, presentations and speeches.
• Represent Google as a company spokesperson for a wide variety of media and other inquiries.
• Maintain Singapore media database and speaking/event calendar as well as evaluating joint communications opportunities with Google technology partners.
• Train and provide advice to company officials for press conferences, media interviews and trade presentations.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree preferred; post-graduate or professional degrees preferred.
• At least 5 years of professional experience in a fast-paced business or non-profit environment.
• Demonstrated ability to work calmly and maintain good judgement in high-stress environments.
• Expert communication skills - verbal and written.
• Strong desire to help shape the future of the internet globally as well as a passion for new technologies including Google products and services.
• Business fluency in Mandarin or Japanese a plus.
