- Track UK legislative, regulatory, and political developments relevant to the role's policy portfolio, identifying risks, opportunities, and recommended actions for the business.
- Work closely with Legal, Security, Trust & Safety, Product, Comms, and regional policy teams to ensure UK public policy positions are accurate, consistent, and operationally grounded.
- Build and maintain first class relationships with relevant policymakers, officials, regulators, expert bodies, think tanks, trade associations, and civil society stakeholders.
- Use a well-established political network to support TikTok's engagement with parliamentarians, advisers, officials, and other influential stakeholders, particularly where policy issues have high political salience.
- Represent TikTok externally in meetings, roundtables, industry forums, and stakeholder discussions, with a focus on explaining the company's policy positions and building trust in its approach.
- Support engagement with relevant institutions and expert communities connected to data protection, security, platform integrity, intellectual property, and related digital policy debates.
- Identify reputational, legislative, and regulatory risks early, and contribute to coordinated response strategies where issues have political, media, or public impact.
