We aspire to create a culture that's built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed.

Join us to transform the way the world works.

About the team

Trust Review Operations helps keep LinkedIn safe, trusted and professional. We review ads, jobs, accounts and content against LinkedIn's policies, work through escalations, and pass what we learn back to the Product, Policy, Engineering and Data Science teams that build our defenses.

This role is based in Bangalore

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

About the role

As a Lead Trust Operations Analyst, you'll be leading as an IC for our Ads/Jobs review operations on the weekend shift. You'll handle complex cases, resolve escalations, work on process optimization, partner with stakeholders and often be the most seasoned person on shift when something unexpected happens.

You'll also build deep expertise in member account reviews. Over time, we expect this role to evolve into an expert across other Trust review lines of business and become a go-to resource for the wider team.

• Lead root cause analysis on recurring issues and escalations, and recommend fixes to processes, escalation criteria or tooling so the same problems don't keep coming back.

• Watch for emerging trends in advertiser and member behavior, check the data behind them, and turn them into clear written summaries and recommendations for management & stakeholders.

• Collect, categorize and prioritize feedback on policies, tools and workflows, and feed it into policy development and review.
