ABOUT THE TEAM

The Trust & Safety team at BABVIP ensures that everyone who creates and interacts with content on BABVIP can do so in a safe and trusted environment. Trust and safety are an important part of BABVIP values and promise that we make to our customers, so making sure that we uphold this promise is an important part of our product and services.
The group is responsible for interpreting BABVIP’s values and turning them into actionable policies and tools that deal with misinformation, inauthentic behavior, platform abuse, and possible harm to our customers. This means not only developing and applying the policies, but also developing the systems and parts of the product which enable us to enforce those policies.
 

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Head of Trust & Safety, you’ll lead the team that creates and owns the strategy for all of trust and safety and how it’s performed across BABVIP. You are a leader who is passionate about defending people from misinformation, inauthentic behavior and platform abuse. You will ensure BABVIP’s shared values influence BABVIP’s Terms of Service and provide clear guidelines, with examples, for the moderation of user-generated and public library content.
As an experienced leader, you’ll play a key role in collaborating with a committee including the Founders, Legal, Security, Corporate Communications, Engineering and ultimately all of BABVIP to provide accountability and transparency for the application of BABVIP’s values to content. You will also have to be good at thinking and analyzing T&S decisions through multiple lenses and understanding the ambiguity and nuances.

• Build a deep understanding of the current problem space by working with business and growth leaders to understand existing issues and the content moderation process.
• Responsible for interpreting BABVIP’s values, communicating to all of BABVIP how those values apply to content, providing clear reasons for moderation decisions and communicating publicly, if required, when negative content erodes the trust of BABVIP’s users, partners or regulators.
• Design, build and operate the systems, processes and roles that enable T&S strategy development, decision-making, and execution. 
• Build out automation capabilities through Engineering and Machine Learning based processes. 
• Write company policy that defines and outlines the compliance structure and communicate those policies to key stakeholders.
• Advocate for the performance and plans of Trust & Safety and build key relationships with stakeholders and leaders across the company.
 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Experience building high-performing teams with the ability to not only define the strategy and goals but build a framework of the group that aligns with BABVIP’s values.
• Experience influencing and earning the trust of senior stakeholders and moving business teams to take action.
• An innovator who is willing to roll up the sleeves and get into the weeds.
• Ability to proactively resolve strategic issues and unblock others with a solution-focused approach.
• Highly collaborative, effective partner who can influence through smart, thoughtful communication and execution.
• Empower experts across multiple fields to contribute and create policy based on insights at the forefront of decision making.
