This role is a critical driver of our business and will be the senior data leader on our compliance team, and offers a unique chance to shape our approach to transparency, safety for our most critical populations, and regulatory compliance. You will be instrumental in developing and implementing strategies to meet emerging requirements, forecasting the impact of regulatory changes on our business, and collaborating with product teams to design user-centric solutions, particularly those focused on minors, and your work here will be critical to our mission to connect users with safety & civility.

You Will:

  • Develop statistically rigorous frameworks to forecast and measure impact from regulatory changes on our platform.
  • Own our strategy around transparency reporting, including metric definition, positioning, and contextual data.
  • Work with partners in product and data engineering to build out our suite of reports, including designing fault-tolerant data architecture that allows for future development.

  • Motivated by impact. You find great satisfaction in being able to point to direct contributions you’ve made to an organization. You recognize the inherent tradeoffs between further research/experimentation and productionization, and you apply the appropriate methodology to improve impact in a pragmatic fashion.
