The Position

What You’ll Do

As a misinformation policy specialist, you’ll research, draft, and implement policies covering all aspects of misinformation and related issues impacting the integrity of conversations on Twitter — from deepfakes and synthetic media, to protecting the integrity of elections and civic processes, to combating false narratives on public health topics. For this role, we’re looking for someone who cares deeply about how misinformation manifests and propagates in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. 

You’ll work closely with colleagues in the Site Integrity and Safety Policy teams, as well as Twitter’s Product and Engineering organizations, to craft a holistic approach to misinformation-related issues across product, policy, investigations, and enforcement. You’ll also act as the primary Trust & Safety point of contact for high-level escalations involving misinformation and lead rapid response efforts by teams across the company to prevent the virality and proliferation of abuse on  Twitter around critical public events.
