- Conduct thorough pre-launch and post-launch risk assessments for new products and features, identify potential harms and abuse vectors (including GenAI‑specific risks), and design effective mitigation strategies in partnership with Safety Product and other cross-functional teams.
- Monitor and analyze user interactions, policy enforcement trends, abuse patterns, and emerging technologies to inform policy development, enforcement strategies, and product improvements.
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Research, Operations, Legal, Public Policy, and PR to evaluate product proposals, influence design decisions, and support launch-readiness and policy sign-off.
- Track global regulatory developments, industry trends, and best practices related to online safety, AI governance, and safety-by-design, and proactively evolve policy frameworks.
- Champion user safety and trust by promoting transparency, ethical decision-making, and responsible product development practices across TikTok and ByteDance’s AI initiatives.
- Prepare and present policy recommendations, risk analyses, and updates to stakeholders, driving alignment and informed decision-making across multiple levels of the organization.
