At TikTok, our people are humble, intelligent, compassionate and creative. We create to inspire - for you, for us, and for more than 1 billion users on our platform. We lead with curiosity and aim for the highest, never shying away from taking calculated risks and embracing ambiguity as it comes. Here, the opportunities are limitless for those who dare to pursue bold ideas that exist just beyond the boundary of possibility. Join us and make impact happen with a career at TikTok.

Our Trust & Safety team's commitment is to keep our online community safe. We have invested heavily in human and machine-based moderation to remove harmful content quickly and often before it reaches our general community.

You have an insatiable appetite for protecting users and significant experience facilitating productive dialogue with internal teams and the communities they seek to serve. You will serve as an external ambassador for TikTok and will be proficient in constituent outreach, building partnerships, and creating forums to inform policies, processes, and internal training.

It is possible that this role will be exposed to harmful content as part of the core role/as part of project/ in response to escalation requests/by chance.Some content viewed may violate our community guidelines which include but are not limited to bullying; hate speech; child abuse; sexual assault; torture; bestiality; self-harm; suicide; murder.

What will I be doing?
- Research, identify, and collaborate with external experts (e.g. academia, civil sector players, Key Opinion Leaders, etc.) and leverage their expertise and resources to develop corresponding safety programs to improve the Trust & Safety approach to key issue areas;
- Collaborate with internal teams to draft strategic plans for one or more of our issue verticals (e.g. Minor Safety, Harassment/Bullying, Platform Integrity, Hateful Behavior, Adult Nudity, and Sexual Activity) in an effort to enhance the safety of our users and trust in the platform;
- Lead the planning and execution of fact-checking program phases: research, identify, onboard, and train external partners; and support onboarding programs for fact-checking agencies and other third-parties;
- Act as a representative and spokesperson on TikTok’s Trust & Safety policies, procedures, product features, and internal workflows within your designated Issue Verticals;
- Build and collaborate with all Outreach & Partnership Management colleagues and key XFN partners for increased efficiency and effective responsiveness into existing workstreams, and help to define new operational strategies for the implementation of external feedback;
- Occasionally travel to manage stakeholders and projects.

**Qualifications**:
What should I bring with me?
- 7+ years of experience in business, partnerships, product marketing, policy programming, operations, support management, or project management;
- Understanding of the NGO/civil society landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa;
- Knowledge of mainstream video-sharing products and experience designing programs relating to stakeholder engagement, advocacy and online safety initiatives;
- Experience working independently and with global cross-function teams such as policy, legal, operations, and product;
- Ability to drive projects cross-functionally, run consensus-based stakeholder management, and build positive relationships with both internal and external partners;
