About this role
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 Policy Manager for the Youth Safety & Well-being Policy team. You will develop policies for the full spectrum of youth topics, serve as an internal voice on youth safety, and help shape how policy, product, and operations work together to keep young people safe at scale.
Responsibilities: - Develop, iterate, and maintain policies to ensure age-appropriate content on the platform, balancing youth safety and harm prevention with youth autonomy and expression. - Ensure policies and standards on youth harms 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. - Engage with external stakeholders to incorporate outside expertise into TikTok’s platform policies related to youth safety and wellbeing. - Partner with Policy Enforcement, Operations, and Product to develop and improve human and AI-driven moderation systems.
