The role, in T&S terms

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

Vendor operations management for live content moderation and monetization across outsourced moderation partners in APAC, tracked through SLA, accuracy and throughput metrics. The role sits in the Regional Partner Success team and works to drive quality improvements using Quality Data Measurement inputs, acting as the link between the internal TnQ team and partner moderation teams.

What you'd do

  • Run end-to-end live content moderation delivery across assigned vendor partners, including SLA compliance for response time, accuracy and throughput.
  • Set up vendor cadences such as partner huddles, weekly business reviews and monthly strategic planning.
  • Watch real-time moderation queues and escalation paths, and fix bottlenecks, capacity gaps and quality drift.
  • Own quality dashboards and scorecards across partner sites, and reduce reporting discrepancies.
  • Lead root cause analysis on underperformance with vendor QA leads and propose fixes.
  • Project-manage policy rollouts, upskilling and process changes across vendor partners.
  • Run policy calibration sessions and check vendor QA teams' policy knowledge.

What it asks for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • Proven record of running vendor operations at scale against quality and SLA metrics or BPO KPI targets.
  • Strong analytical skills and proficiency with performance dashboards and reporting tools.
  • Experience working across multiple countries and time zones, or leading large-scale transformation with sourcing or contracting exposure.
  • Hands-on experience integrating Gen AI or LLM tools into operational workflows (preferred).
  • Familiarity with AI evaluation metrics and AI safety or red-teaming concepts (preferred).

Worth knowing

  • Work covers live moderation and crisis response, including triage during critical events and major incidents.
