Analyst - Trust & Safety (II)
Kickstarter's Trust and Safety team is passionate about keeping the company safe from bad actors and reputational risk. We lead with curiosity and strive for excellence when communicating with our community about our rules and policies. This team has four primary missions:
Ensure monetary safety for our users
Review content for Rules compliance, guideline breaches and Terms of Use violations
Uphold policies that best protect our company from litigation and external complaints
Assist our community with account issues
We aim to work from clearly defined and evolving policies within open channels of communication across the organization. We hold an emphasis on process and precedent so that we can ensure unilateral enforcement of our guidelines. A comfort with gray area ambiguity is essential, as edge cases and new precedents are presented every day. We lead with empathy towards our users and stakeholders and strive for a great user experience.
