Jill Hazelbaker is a communications executive, political campaign spokesperson and campaign staff member primarily for candidates of the Republican Party in the United States. She was the head of corporate communications at Google.

Hazelbaker was the national communications director for John McCain's presidential campaign. A MSNBC online piece listed her as one of eight in McCain's "candidate brain trust," their shortlist of the candidate's closest advisers.

Hazelbaker has advanced faster than any other senior executive in the Fortune 100, according to research in the March 2014 issue of Harvard Business Review—and she is the youngest leader in that exclusive data set.

Hazelbaker was previously Senior Director of Public Relations and Internal Communications across EMEA and government relations in the EU where she was responsible for driving Google's consumer public relations for products such as Search, Maps, Chrome and Android. She also led Google's European Public Policy.

Hazelbaker is currently Senior Vice President of Global Policy and Communications at Uber.

A native of Salem, Oregon, Hazelbaker attended the University of Oregon in Eugene, studying Political Science while she worked for the school newspaper the Oregon Daily Emerald.

While a student, Hazelbaker did a congressional internship in Washington, D.C. for Rep. Greg Walden, an Oregon Republican.

In 2002, she worked on Sen. Gordon Smith's 2002 re-election campaign. In 2004, she worked to help Republican Jim Zupancic in his uphill and ultimately unsuccessful campaign against U.S. Rep. Darlene Hooley. That led to a short stint at the New York-based consulting firm, Mercury Consulting, according to a recent article in The Oregonian.
