Technical Product Manager - Trust & Safety

Responsibilities
About the team:
The T&S GenAI & Emerging Product team's mission is to empower the development of GenAI models and applications. We do this by building a world-class safety, testing, and risk management system that ensures GenAI innovations are launched responsibly.

Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end content safety for TikTok GenAI products, driving cross-functional execution across Product, Engineering, Algo, Policy, and Operations teams.
- Build and scale automated safety evaluation pipelines, and define robust, future-proof safety strategies for GenAI products and new feature launches.
- Use data, model signals, and user feedback to proactively detect, prioritize, and mitigate safety risks, improving system performance and user trust at scale.
- Lead complex technical programs across multiple teams, including roadmap definition, dependency management, execution tracking, and high-quality delivery. Influence technical and product direction by bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces, making principled trade-offs, and aligning stakeholders without direct authority.
- Leverage AI (e.g., LLM tools, AI-assisted coding, automation workflows) to accelerate development cycles and enhance robustness of safety systems.

Qualifications

- Demonstrated ability to lead and deliver complex, cross-functional technical programs with strong ownership and execution rigor.
- Working knowledge of GenAI systems, large language models, and key safety or alignment challenges.

Preferred Qualifications
- Strong product and data intuition, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and drive measurable, outcome-oriented solutions.
