WHO WE ARE

The teams in Twitter’s Trust & Safety (T&S) department are on the front lines of safety, speech, and policy issues that affect the Internet.

• Maintain and evolve an effective operating cadence for the team to ensure meeting high service levels with our partners.

• Working within T&S and with multi-functional partners, develop and execute on project plans that will improve team efficiency and effectiveness
• Facilitate sessions across different partners, at different levels, to establish mutual understanding on strategy, processes and technical & non-technical requirements
• Develop requirements documents at multiple levels as required including business and technical requirements to connect business/process needs to product requirements
• Develop and update the roadmap for T&S’ tools by helping policy teams prioritize needs and pin down requirements
• Flesh out system and tooling needs that are as yet unmet and write the business case to support investing in new solutions
• Anticipate management and transparency reporting data needs and work with policy managers and partners to include these in requirements specifications
• Ensure that our systems follow the company’s security and access policies, such as the use of access restrictions and audit trails
• Shepherd the user acceptance testing of systems and tools prior to deployment and launch plans
• Manage expectations and communicate the priorities, status, and progress of projects to partners.
