  • High-Impact Programming & Sponsorships: Identify and secure strategic sponsorship and event opportunities that maximize Waymo’s visibility and influence
  • oversee full-lifecycle execution, from initial selection to on-site logistics and staffing
  • Financial & Operational Oversight: Manage a budget across multiple workstreams, ensuring disciplined resource allocation and measurable ROI for TX public affairs initiatives

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in public affairs, community organizing, or external affairs, with a proven track record of leading high-stakes campaigns from inception to measurable impact
  • Demonstrated expertise in designing and executing complex digital advocacy campaigns, including setting data-driven KPIs and managing multi-channel execution
  • An established professional network and a sophisticated understanding of Texas' charitable sectors, grassroots organizations, and non-elected community influencers, particularly within Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston
  • Experience building and maintaining long-term, trust-based relationships with diverse advocacy groups (e.g., accessibility, road safety, or local community leaders)
  • Direct experience managing and allocating budgets with fiscal discipline
  • Experience serving as a public-facing spokesperson, including speaking at events, community forums, or managing local media inquiries. Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives

Nice to have:

  • Experience managing external public affairs or creative agencies to scale campaign impact
  • A history of working effectively within a fast-moving organization, collaborating across multiple cross-functional teams
  • Self-starter with experience working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where strategy must remain agile and responsive to shifting business needs
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build credibility and trust with a wide range of stakeholders
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous and evolving policy environments and pivoting quickly to support changing business needs
