- A proactive, self-driven and highly organised approach, with the ability to independently manage a policy portfolio while collaborating effectively across cross-functional teams.
- Flexibility to contribute beyond the core digital policy portfolio as priorities evolve.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to rapidly research, understand and communicate emerging policy topics.
- The ability to translate complex EU regulatory developments into practical business implications, identifying risks, opportunities and clear recommendations.

Joining our European Public Affairs team means becoming part of a collaborative, international environment at the forefront of technology and policy. You will have the opportunity to work on some of the most significant digital policy developments shaping Europe, engage with leading policymakers and industry stakeholders, and contribute to the company's long-term strategy.
In return, we offer:
- A challenging and impactful role within a global technology company.
