About the Team:

The Safety Regulatory Compliance Operations (SRCO) Team for Tik Tok USDS is a multi-disciplinary team that handles risk detection, prevention and handling in the United States. The team is dedicated to maintaining a safe and secure online environment for users by actively monitoring and responding to emergent threats, ensuring compliance with legal regulations, and address real-life implications of online content.

As a member of the US SRCO's Child Safety team, you will be integral in ensuring that Tik Tok is a safe and trustworthy place for our community. SRCO is responsible for balancing corporate compliance responsibilities with the appropriate operational safeguards to protect our users' rights. Within and across each vertical, we work together to develop efficient workflows that mitigate legal risk.

We are here to help all our Safety organization and wider company colleagues ensure that we are sustaining an equitable platform that inspires creativity across all markets.

As a Child Safety Specialist at Tik Tok, you'll be part of a global team that ensures the timely detection and removal of content across the broad spectrum of online child endangerment, such as child sexual abuse and exploitation.

This highly motivating and impactful work gives you the opportunity to work with global cross-functional colleagues to frame our legal policies and operational procedures for Tik Tok. The team is seeking a candidate with a strong work ethic, excellent judgment, exceptional partnering skills and a passion for protecting children.

Our Child Safety team performs a critical function that supports our efforts to address objectionable or disturbing content. Content that the Child Safety team interacts with includes images, video, and text related to every-day life, but it can also include (but is not limited to) bullying; hate speech; child abuse; sexual assault; torture; bestiality; self-harm; suicide; and murder.

It is possible that this role will be exposed to harmful content on a daily basis.

This position will be full-time and will be based in our Washington D.C. location and will entail a Tuesday through Saturday work week.
