The T&S team helps create a safe platform experience so that all of our users around the world are empowered to enjoy their experience on our platform, every day. We take great pride in our work as digital first responders and hope you would consider joining us. 

We are seeking a dedicated Project Manager to oversee our Transparency Reporting (TR) efforts and to support our regulatory compliance efforts.

We are looking for someone passionate about safety and transparency. They should be detail oriented, action oriented and organized. We hope they can bring a strategic mind to complex operational tasks. 

This individual will own projects from end-to-end; they will be expected to not only manage timelines and contributions across a wide array of cross-functional partners, but also to “get their hands dirty” to solve problems, analyze data, draft portions of our reports and publish content for external audiences.This individual will grow into a subject matter expert on Snap’s Transparency Reports.  In the process, they will work closely alongside our Trust & Safety leadership, as well as Safety Legal, Data Science, Policy and Product.

Due to the nature of Trust & Safety work, you should be willing and able to work with sensitive issues and content that may be considered offensive or disturbing. Our team has carefully devised measures and support in place to ensure wellness for all our team members.
