In this role, you will report to our Platform Safety Policy Lead and develop practical site-wide policies that set understandable expectations for Reddit users, and enable consistent enforcement by Reddit admins. In this context, you will provide our enforcement teams with in-depth policy analysis, and propose and implement improvements to our end-to-end policy development process.

  • Collaborate closely with Reddit’s enforcement and safety product teams to ensure that Reddit admins have consistent policy guidance.

  • Propose and carry out strategies to improve redditors' awareness and understanding of content policies
  • Refine and manage a standardized process for developing and launching policy changes.
  • Support other internal teams on various product, platform, and content policy initiatives.

  • Ready to work across time zones and be flexible on working hours.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Empathy, adaptability and sense of humor.
  • Deep understanding of online community interactions and engagement, content and other safety risks. (Prior experience as a redditor is definitely a plus!)
  • International perspective to policy development and implementation.
  • Passion for protecting the freedom of expression of communities on Reddit in balance with their safety and privacy.
