About the Project

We are building a team of country specialists to support an AI content safety and moderation project for a global technology company.

The project involves reviewing existing content-safety guidelines and ensuring they appropriately reflect the laws, cultural context, religious considerations and social norms of specific countries.

This is not a translation role. We are looking for someone who can research, interpret and apply country-specific requirements and translate these into clear, practical content-safety guidance.

Key Tasks

• Review and enhance existing country-specific content safety and moderation guidelines to reflect local laws, cultural sensitivities, religious norms and country context.
  

• Research relevant local laws, regulations, published cases and credible sources across areas such as religion, politics, discrimination, adult content, violence, terrorism, illegal content and other cultural or ethical sensitivities.
  

• Identify which local rules apply, where existing guidelines have gaps, and recommend clear, evidence-based modifications.
  

• Define key content risks and apply the project's severity framework: Neutral, Minor, Strong and Critical.
  

• Develop realistic, locally relevant examples and edge cases showing how different content should be classified, supported by reliable sources where applicable.
  

• Participate in guideline reviews with the project team, explain recommendations, and help resolve and document ambiguous or previously undefined cases.
  

What We're Looking For

• Native or near-native proficiency, with strong current knowledge of one/all these Middle-East Countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Iraq) and their culture and local context.
  

• Strong written and spoken English.
  

• Experience in Trust & Safety, content policy, public policy, regulatory or legal research, digital safety, platform governance, risk/compliance, or a closely related field.
  

• Strong research skills, including the ability to identify credible sources, interpret complex information and distinguish between law, regulatory guidance, cultural norms and interpretation.
  

• Excellent analytical judgement, structured reasoning and written communication.
  

• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with sensitive content, ambiguous policy questions and complex edge cases.
  

• Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality work within tight project timelines.

Trust & Safety Policy Analyst | Content Policy Specialist | Country Policy Specialist | Policy Enforcement Specialist | Public Policy Analyst | Regulatory Researcher | Digital Policy Analyst | Content Moderation Policy Specialist | Digital Safety Researcher | Legal Researcher | Risk & Compliance Analyst
