Google posted a brand new job for an Exterior Communications Supervisor, Search – this job appears so much like what Danny Sullivan, the former Google Search Liaison, did, however I’m not certain if that is the job posting to discover a new Google Search Liaison.
I noticed this by way of Lily Ray who posted about it on X on Friday. Many are considering that is to search out the brand new Search Liaison.
That’s what that is

That is a part of the job description:
As a member of the International Communications & Public Affairs group, you’ll work cross-functionally to assist talk with journalists and different thought leaders; devise particular communications supplies and campaigns; interact in face-to-face conferences with commentators and different opinion formers; and develop print and web-based materials supporting these campaigns. We’re in search of nice communicators who can perceive advanced points and clarify them in individual and likewise by way of effectively written, easy weblog posts, FAQs, video scripts and extra.
On this position, you’ll outline the Search story within the AI period, growing methods to launch and preserve momentum for our newest product improvements. You’ll summarize advanced subjects into participating messages, construct and drive campaigns, handle groups and sophisticated tasks, and advise leaders on efficient communications methods.
It is our job to assist inform and educate customers, advertisers, companions, opinion leaders–and our personal employees–about the advantages of Google’s merchandise, our distinctive firm tradition/values, and our strategy to the massive public coverage problems with the day. To succeed right here, you will mix creativity with organizational expertise to handle a number of tasks with tight deadlines concurrently, in addition to take pleasure in pitching to journalists, bloggers and commentators, or producing inside communications and occasions for our workers. Issues occur rapidly at Google and to get stuff accomplished right here you’ll want to be an enthusiastic group participant who can work cross-functionally and is not hesitant to take dangers or attempt new issues.
There are two the explanation why I do not assume that is the Search Liaison job.
(1) Danny Sullivan particularly informed us he didn’t work for the communications/PR group. He was not a PR spokesperson; he labored instantly with the Google Search group and was not within the communications group.
(2) The Search Liaison account was killed. The message on these accounts say and nonetheless say “This account is now not energetic. Please observe Search Central at for web site proprietor info and see our Search weblog for the most recent updates.”
Might this be a brand new position that’s related on some stage to the Search Liaison’s job? Possibly. Or it may be simply one other PR individual Google is hiring for the Google Search group. There are numerous PR individuals who work at Google on Search.
I will be mistaken – I’m mistaken on a regular basis. However my intestine feeling is that this isn’t for the Search Liaison job.
Discussion board dialogue at X.
