Snap Inc. is a camera company. We believe that reinventing the camera represents our greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Our products empower people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.
The safety of our community is of paramount importance to Snap. We are looking for a Global Head of Platform Safety to represent and help coordinate and inform Snap’s safety efforts by communicating and advising externally with a myriad of stakeholders in the safety and law enforcement community and internally with our teams entrusted with the safety of our community.
