Regulatory Compliance Program Manager, Regulatory Delivery & Transparency - Trust & Safety
Responsibilities
About the team
Our Trust & Safety team's commitment is to keep our online community safe. We have invested heavily in human and machine-based moderation to remove harmful content quickly and often before it reaches our general community.
As our international organization expands rapidly and becomes more complex, so too does the regulatory and legal environment. We are therefore setting up a new Trust and Safety Regulatory Compliance team to partner with business, legal and compliance teams to implement and deliver content and safety regulations, execute legal and regulatory obligations, and monitor compliance.
The Regulatory Delivery and Transparency (RDT) function aims to be the strategic partner of TikTok departments, starting with the Trust & Safety (T&S) team, working in close partnership with relevant Legal and Compliance teams, to best address content and safety regulatory requirements applicable to TikTok.
The Regulatory Compliance team will facilitate the execution of regulatory projects across critical departments (including Trust and Safety, Legal, TikTok Product, E-Commerce, Monetization) with a forward focus mindset for continuous improvement. This role will play a critical part within the team, with responsibility for programme management and the ongoing monitoring of relevant regulatory obligations.
About the role
As Program Manager, you will manage large-scale regulatory programs from scoping through execution, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of obligations, risk assessments, and regulatory responses. You will design and implement scalable compliance frameworks, drive controls and assurance infrastructure, and support internal audit readiness while partnering closely with Legal, Compliance, and cross-functional teams. This role requires strategic thinking, operational excellence, and strong communication with senior leadership to surface risks, shape compliance priorities, and foster continuous improvement.
