Program Leader, Global Safety Support
About the Role
The Safety Support Process team defines the global gold standard for how we respond to our users during their most vulnerable moments. As a Program Leader, you will lead the strategy and design for the "Urgent Safety" pillar-focusing on the end-to-end process architecture for serious safety incidents and critical health or allergen-related food safety concerns.
This is a high-impact leadership role that bridges deeply empathetic strategy with operational scale. You will be responsible for ensuring that when a serious incident occurs-whether it involves physical safety or acute health risks-our response is trauma-informed, efficient, and consistently excellent across the globe. Your primary focus is process excellence: designing workflows, elevating agent competencies, and ensuring our global support footprint can handle high-severity issues with unwavering quality. You will partner with external advocacy groups to help inform our protocols with industry best practices.
