• You’re product-minded, with a good sense of the evolving media and technology landscape and how emerging technologies like GenAI might affect content creators and consumers.
• You can both strategize and ideate at a very high level and “roll up your sleeves” in the details to get things done;
• You have a strong ethical commitment to online trust and safety and building an internet that elevates critical thinking, reasoned argument, shared knowledge, and verifiable facts.
• Commitment to our values:
• Welcoming differences
• Being relationship-minded
