Waymo is currently in search of a community and public affairs specialist during heightened tensions in Los Angeles due to protests against ICE immigration raids. Following incidents where their self-driving vehicles were vandalized during these protests, the company suspended its services in both LA and San Francisco. The job listing emphasizes the need for advocacy and relationship-building with community organizations, although it does not address the protests explicitly. This situation has arisen as activists see Waymo's vehicles as symbols of state surveillance, prompting the company to bolster its public relations efforts.
Our focus is implementing advocacy, grassroots, and grasstops campaigns to drive acceptance and adoption of our life-saving technology.
