Requirements - Experience in the autonomous vehicle, rideshare, or hyper-growth tech sectors where public perception and regulatory communications are critical. - Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Marketing, Supply Chain, or equivalent education and work experience. - Prior experience working directly within an advertising or PR agency in an account or commercial role before moving to procurement. Benefits - Waymo employees are eligible to participate in Waymo’s discretionary annual bonus program. - Equity incentive plan. - Generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements. Salary Range The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is $159,000 — $196,000 USD.
