About the job

In this role, you will both write and steer our public assets, transforming complex technical breakthroughs, scientific discoveries, AI milestones, and impact stories into compelling, accessible, and globally relevant narratives.

You will create broad organizational impact by setting the editorial bar, building narrative frameworks, and mentoring other writers for overall narrative consistency across teams and channels. You will be equally comfortable defining long-term editorial strategy, ghostwriting high-stakes thought leadership (e.g., keynotes, op-eds etc.) for executives, reviewing and editing your colleagues' work. You will be an expert and a master storyteller who can hear about a deeply complex scientific breakthrough and instantly shape a narrative arc that reveals its human, societal, or technical significance, collaborating with research experts across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Establish, evolve, and execute the editorial voice and content frameworks for Google Research across primary external and internal channels.
  
• Oversee the end-to-end editorial calendar, including the implementation of listening systems to identify and inform the editorial pipeline in advance of formal project submissions. Prioritize, curate, and greenlight stories that maximize impact across both technical expert communities and mainstream public audiences.
  
• Partner closely with Researchers, Product Managers, and cross-functional teams (Marketing, Comms, Legal, GAPP, Partnerships) to ensure scientific accuracy, regulatory compliance, and message alignment.
  
• Provide structural and line editing for content drafts written by others, managing Q&A for all write-ups, while actively coaching others to elevate their storytelling.
  
• Manage the tactical execution pipeline for your assigned pieces—proactively driving research teams and executives to provide timely inputs, clear feedback, and final sign-offs to meet publication deadlines.
