    Description

    Snap Inc is a technology company that believes the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate.

    Be the Policy spokesperson of the company in the region in various fora, events, etc.
    Be the first to act and respond to the appropriate public policy inquiries.

    Collaborate with Public Policy, Legal and Business teams to analyze legislative initiatives, advise on risks and opportunities and develop company policy positions and messaging.

    Partner with the Communications team to help them appropriately respond to Policy‑related media inquiries, by providing the correct policy narrative that best represents Snap Inc.
