Meta Strategic Response Policy Manager in Menlo Park, California
Summary:
Meta is looking for people with crisis, risk management, or leadership decision support experience gained in tech, business, or government policy to join our Strategic Response Policy (SR Policy) team. The team's purpose is to handle crisis situations that require cross-functional coordination, and communication to leadership, in order to mitigate serious risks to the company or the community. This could relate to pieces of content posted on the platform, the impact of terrorist attacks and violent incidents on our platforms, and thinking strategically about how geo-political events may present policy risk. SR Policy sits within our Content Policy team which is responsible for setting our Community Standards and Business Policies governing content on the platform. The role of SR Policy is to help leadership make enforcement decisions in the most critical cases when operating under significant time challenge and stakeholder scrutiny. To do that we operate a global 24/7 on-call shift system, with responsiveness and accuracy of communications skills being of paramount importance. You will need to be personally resilient, flexible and able to multi-task, enjoy quick turnaround work, and be prepared to work on thematic issues that some may find emotive. To do this effectively, you are likely someone who can think strategically about risk, while also being able to probe the details of fast-moving situations. Someone who has operated at the intersection of policy and operations may be particularly suitable. You will be based out of our headquarters and will provide a focal point for issues across the Americas region. SR Policy is a global team that responds to issues across regions and time zones. You will be expected to work on issues as they arise irrespective of geography.
