About The Position

The Public Policy Manager IV supports global content regulation strategy and provides strategic policy guidance for a rapidly evolving social media platform. The role operates at the intersection of public policy, technology, product development, and regulatory compliance, translating complex regulatory requirements into practical solutions that support product innovation while mitigating safety, integrity, and compliance risks. This is a collaborative, independently driven internal product policy and regulatory strategy role. The successful candidate will work closely with product, engineering, legal, policy, and risk teams to help shape practical solutions that balance innovation, user safety, and regulatory responsibility. It is not a traditional government relations or external lobbying position, nor a hands-on content moderation role.
