The role, in T&S terms

Written by the T&S Network from TikTok's posting.

Global trend detection work in TikTok's Risk Detection group, finding emerging platform risks before they escalate across all lines of business. The role designs detection strategies for high-priority risk domains such as election integrity and crisis response, then runs the tactical monitoring, validation and enrichment that deliver early warning signals to policy, product and enforcement teams.

What you'd do

  • Make data-driven calls on risk breakdown, resource allocation and coverage for ambiguous threat scenarios.
  • Build frameworks, prioritization methods and impact metrics, and maintain team playbooks.
  • Lead detection and response during planned high-risk events like elections and unplanned crises.
  • Run multi-source data analysis to spot emerging trends and quantify their risk impact.
  • Monitor third-party detection partners, set SLAs and run quality assurance on their output.
  • Automate repetitive detection tasks and fold AI tooling into operating procedures.

What it asks for

  • Have a track record of running complex projects or risk portfolios alone and showing measurable results.
  • Demonstrated experience with AI tools, data analytics platforms or technical detection systems, including process improvements.
  • Skilled at managing stakeholders and communicating, including presenting to senior leaders.
  • Strong quantitative analysis skills, including analysis of large datasets.
  • Solid grasp of world geopolitics, how social platforms behave and newer online harms.
  • Worked with outside vendors or external partners before (preferred).
  • Willingness to learn Python or SQL (preferred).
