Job Description:

About the team: 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. As our international organization expands rapidly and becomes more complex, so too does the regulatory and legal environment. We are therefore setting up a new Trust and Safety Regulatory Compliance team to partner with business, legal and compliance teams to implement and deliver content and safety regulations, execute legal and regulatory obligations, and monitor compliance. The Regulatory Delivery and Transparency (RDT) function aims to be the strategic partner of TikTok departments, starting with the Trust & Safety (T&S) team, working in close partnership with relevant Legal and Compliance teams, to best address content and safety regulatory requirements applicable to TikTok. The Regulatory Compliance team will facilitate the execution of regulatory projects across critical departments (including Trust and Safety, Legal, TikTok Product, E-Commerce, Monetization) with a forward focus mindset for continuous improvement. This role will play a critical part within the team, with responsibility for programme management and the ongoing monitoring of relevant regulatory obligations.

• Controls and Assurance Infrastructure Development: - Lead control monitoring activities, investigate deviations, and ensure the effectiveness of controls in partnership with Legal and Compliance teams. - Implement and monitor the progress of recommendations from internal and external audits. - Engage in risk assessments, and implement and track mitigation strategies identified in the risk assessment processes.
• Compliance Framework Development: - Facilitate the strategic development and execution of compliance frameworks that address both current and emerging regulatory challenges. - Bridge gaps between various internal teams to ensure seamless integration of compliance standards and practices. - Continuously seek opportunities to enhance regulatory processes and frameworks, leveraging insights and feedback to foster an environment of continuous improvement within Trust and Safety.
• Leadership and Communication: - Regularly communicate with and update senior leadership in partnership with Legal and Compliance teams on project statuses, compliance gaps, strategic decision-making, and prioritization.
