About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Set collection policy for identity signals: what we request, in which enforcement states, and what evidence reinstates access.
  • Improve verification program health — accuracy, appeal coverage, and consistency of outcomes.
  • Own access policy for hard cases, including geographic restrictions and reseller arrangements.
  • Run the operational queue for access-control cases alongside contractor support, authoring playbooks and QA'ing scaled review output.
  • Work with Legal, Public Policy, and Privacy stakeholders to keep our approach proportionate, privacy-preserving, and responsive to an evolving regulatory landscape.
  • Coordinate enforcement consistency with third-party platform partners.
  • Keep up to date with emerging AI policy enforcement best practices, and use these to inform our decision-making and workflows.
  • Stand up graduated enforcement in practice — verification requests, conditional reinstatement, and appeal pathways that satisfy regulatory requirements for automated decisions.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Experience in trust & safety, integrity, or risk policy work.
  • Hands-on operational experience — you've owned or quality-checked live enforcement queues, not only authored policy.
  • Subject matter expertise in one or more of: KYC, identity verification, age or identity assurance, or verification program operations.
  • Experience navigating evolving regulatory landscapes (including frameworks like the DSA and GDPR) as design constraints rather than blockers.
  • Experience driving cross-functional initiatives with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Policy partners — especially where safety, privacy, and usability tradeoffs need to be navigated together.
  • Comfort using data (SQL or similar tools) to measure what's working and inform decisions.
  • Strong written communication skills, with experience producing clear briefs and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent judgment and the ability to make consistent, defensible calls on ambiguous cases.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with graduated/tiered enforcement systems rather than binary ban models.
  • Experience with geographic access restrictions, sanctions screening, or reseller/channel policy.
  • Experience building or scaling a contractor review bench.
  • A deep interest in AI safety and responsible technology development.
  • Experience writing effective prompts for generative AI systems in a content review or enforcement context.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Annual salary: $285,000–$330,000 USD.
  • Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
  • Location-based hybrid policy: Expect staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time (some roles may require more).
