As a Content Governance Policy Manager, you will be responsible for designing and operationalising content standards that protect platform integrity and support commercial growth.

- Design enforcement frameworks (including severity tiering, escalation paths, and moderator tools) to ensure consistent and proportionate compliance. Build core content quality standards focused on integrity, trust, and quality.
- Oversee policy implementation for overseas e-commerce, ensuring operational readiness across moderation, product, and business teams. Drive alignment of policy standards across regional markets, balancing global consistency with regulations and cultural context.
- Continuously evaluate existing policies, identify gaps and edge cases, and lead execution of optimisation plans.
- Collaborate with business operations to assess the commercial impact of policy decisions.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualification (s):
- Bachelor's degree or above.
- Demonstrated experience in content policy development, with preference for backgrounds in e-commerce integrity, Trust and Safety, or social media platform governance.
- Experience designing tiered or structured enforcement frameworks, with the ability to translate policy intent into operational moderator guidance.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally across Policy, Product, Legal, and Operations in a complex, fast-paced environment.
- Ability to independently conduct data analysis to support policy decisions, including querying datasets and building reporting frameworks.
- Experience working with or alongside Trust and Safety, Legal, or Product teams in a cross-functional capacity.
