Job Description

The Trust & Safety team at TikTok ensures our global community is safe and empowered to create and enjoy content across all our applications. The Youth Safety & Well-being Policy team is at the center of this mission, developing approaches that protect and support youth — from policies prohibiting exploitation to supporting product experiences that shape how young people engage with our platform.

We are hiring a Head of Youth Safety & Well-being Policy to lead this team. You will own the policy strategy for the full spectrum of youth topics, serve as a senior internal voice on youth safety, and help shape how policy, product, and operations work together to keep young people safe at scale. This role is highly strategic and hands-on, requiring the ability to manage both immediate priorities and long-term frameworks.

Responsibilities:

- Own the global policy strategy for Youth Safety & Well-being — including CSAM, age-inappropriate content, and psychological and developmental harm.

- Support the development of policy positions with the highest nexus to youth harms, ensuring TikTok's standards are clear, enforceable, and consistent with international child protection frameworks and legal obligations.

- Support on youth-specific approaches to feature and product policy — including account defaults, recommendations, parental controls, and interaction features — ensuring product design reinforces safety policy intent.

- Represent TikTok as a senior public-facing voice on youth safety policy — speaking at industry conferences, with media, and participating in external forums with child protection organizations, academic researchers, and civil society groups.

- Partner with Policy Enforcement, Operations, and Product to develop and improve human and AI-driven moderation systems.
