About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Support end-to-end delivery for critical initiatives across safety product development, account integrity and identity, anti-abuse detection and mitigation, and moderation operations.
Own operational structure and hygiene by establishing consistent standards for tracking product roadmap initiatives, investigation findings, mitigation tasks, and infrastructure adjustments.
Partner with analysts, PMs, and engineers to coordinate the end-to-end lifecycle of abuse investigations—from initial detection through investigation, mitigation, and follow-ups—maintaining organizational visibility into progress and status.
Identify and coordinate inter-team dependencies while driving launch readiness and rollouts. You will own strategic alignment with key team members, including creating plans, managing risks, and refining communication models to ensure successful delivery.
Build and implement frameworks that drive operational excellence, systematically closing gaps and strengthening operational rhythms through subtle, high-impact refinements that don’t disrupt the team’s high-velocity culture.

Demonstrated success in cultivating strong cross-functional relationships and influencing outcomes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, driven by thoughtfulness, an entrepreneurial mindset, and persistent execution.
Expert-level proficiency in managing cross-functional projects using tools like Jira.
