GenAI Technical Engagement Strategy Lead

About the job

The GenAI Technical Engagement team within DeepMind is responsible for translating complex technical model-development roadmaps to support frontier AI public policy and regulatory efforts, driving strategy with cross-functional partners at Google to advance actionable advocacy routes to harmonize public policy efforts with frontier model development and deployment. In this role, you will work at the intersection of research, engineering, public policy, regulatory, product, and operational teams to anticipate emerging regulations (such as those related to AI model development, training data, copyright, safety, and security) and harmonize them with the DeepMind’s technical and model roadmap.

As the technical subject matter expert, you will collaborate closely with public policy, regulatory, and frontier AI model development teams to identify key technical needs and goals, steer advocacy strategies early, co-design policy playbooks and develop external responses to emerging regulations in ways that meet Google’s model development and deployment objectives.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
