About Us:
Twitch is the world’s biggest live streaming service, with global communities built around gaming, entertainment, music, sports, cooking, and more. It’s where millions of people come together to chat, interact, and make their own entertainment.
We’re about community, inside and out. You’ll find coworkers who are eager to team up, collaborate, and smash (or elegantly solve) problems together. We’re on a quest to empower live communities, so if this sounds good to you, see what we’re up to on LinkedIn and Twitter, get interviewing tips on Instagram, and discover projects we’re solving on our Blog.
About the Role:
Trust & Safety is at the core of our efforts to keep Twitch a welcoming and safe place for people to build safe and inclusive communities that enable diverse, global creators to flourish.
Reporting to the Head of Policy, Outreach & Education, you will work closely with external stakeholders, product managers, engineers, researchers, and various teams across the company to incorporate policy and privacy considerations into the products and services we’re developing at Twitch.

You’ll do fast-paced research, writing, and partner coordination, with some irregular work hours to handle safety-related escalations on our service, including weekends.
For this role you will be a leader who brings experience collaborating with a wide array of audiences and is a creative problem solver who works independently and understands tradeoffs. You are expected to seek out and clearly communicate relevant data to support complex business decisions, and develop policy recommendations in a compelling and effective way. You will create plans that have objective, measurable success criteria and clearly communicate progress and outcomes and anticipate the gaps between teams, processes, and system architectures to help their organization produce the best possible results for our community.
You Will:
- Research, build and communicate global policies that impact broad-reaching issues of safety and expression.
- Collaborate across different departments and provide leadership to ensure there is alignment between teams, regulations, processes, and system architectures.
- Develop Strategic Policies: Create policies that consider factors like regulation, product development, content strategy, and brand safety.
- Contribute to investigations of high-profile and gray area policy issues.
