• Pair with the T&S team and the Abuse Operations team to implement policy in Abuse Operations workflows to industry-best levels; training and workflow evaluation.
• Build out Vercel’s external acceptable use policy and user-facing documentation.
• As needed, be able to represent Vercel in external Trust & Safety communications

About you:

• 2+ years of experience in policy or user policy management (researching, writing, and implementing change) at a webhosting-based business
• 2+ years in incident management and policy escalations
• Experience with user restriction systems and setting, tracking, and using KPIs to understand and optimize policy/operations outcomes
• Experience working with an Abuse Operations team
• Understands current and upcoming regulatory systems that apply to Trust & Safety work

Bonus if you have:

Experience in risk mitigation, conflict resolution, or product policy; understanding of geo-politics related to trust & safety issues; familiarity with SQL and creating SQL queries; experience with production ML systems, ticketing systems, and ticket labelling; experience with elections/misinformation.

Benefits:
