Detection Analyst, Global Response Operations

The Global Response Operations organization within Global Operations responds to real-time crises, proactively identifies and evaluates emerging risks, conducts risk-related investigations, and assesses what we could be doing to best benefit our community. By understanding and consistently managing incidents and real-time crises to resolution, the organization drives continuous improvement with our partners across Meta Platforms, Inc. The Detection team within Global Response Operations is focused on detecting emerging on-platform risks that pose harm to our community and businesses on our platform. We identify, investigate and understand those risks. We partner closely with other Global Response Operations teams, Policy, Product and Process teams to mitigate those risks. We are looking for someone who has a passion for identifying risks and investigating to understand where and how these are manifesting on our platforms, and has capacity to leverage data and internal tools to both detect and investigate emerging risks. We are looking for someone who is excited to help us build out our new detection team work and processes.
