TikTok Shop's content ecosystem operates at a scale where policy decisions directly shape the experience of millions of sellers, creators, and buyers. As a Content Governance Policy Manager, you will be responsible for designing and operationalising content standards that protect platform integrity and support commercial growth.

- Design enforcement frameworks (including severity tiering, escalation paths, and moderator tools) to ensure consistent and proportionate compliance. Build core content quality standards focused on integrity, trust, and quality.
- Oversee policy implementation for overseas e-commerce, ensuring operational readiness across moderation, product, and business teams. Drive alignment of policy standards across regional markets, balancing global consistency with regulations and cultural context.
- Continuously evaluate existing policies, identify gaps and edge cases, and lead execution of optimisation plans. Collaborate with business operations to assess the commercial impact of policy decisions.

Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or above.
- Strong interest in content policy, Trust & Safety, e-commerce integrity, or social media platform governance.
- Ability to think critically and help support the development of clear, fair, and scalable content policies.
- Ability to collaborate across teams such as Policy, Product, Legal, and Operations.
- Comfortable working with data to identify trends, support policy decisions, and improve processes.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, manage multiple priorities, and adapt to changing business needs.
- +1 years of relevant experience, such as internship, entry-level role, or related coursework in e-commerce.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with e-commerce platforms, online marketplaces, or social media content ecosystems.
- Exposure to content moderation, platform governance, risk management, or enforcement processes.
- Experience supporting cross-functional projects or process improvement initiatives.
