Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with relevant technical tools and methods, such as machine learning for content detection, automated moderation systems, and data analysis (SQL, Python, etc.)
Risk Assessment and Incident Response: Strong skills in risk analysis, threat modeling, and leading cross-functional incident response for platform abuse or security events.
