About this role
About the team
Trusted Access helps eligible customers access and use advanced AI capabilities with appropriate safeguards. Within User Safety & Risk Operations, we connect customer onboarding, eligibility review, access provisioning, and support into a service customers can navigate with confidence.

Our work combines sound judgment on individual cases with better products, clearer guidance, and automation that reduces unnecessary friction.

- Make capacity and prioritization decisions across urgent customer needs, launch readiness, and lasting improvements. Coordinate regional coverage, vendor support, and backup with partner teams while protecting time to eliminate recurring work.
- Lead consequential customer escalations, bringing incomplete or conflicting evidence into a clear decision process. Align owners on the next action and ensure customers receive accurate updates and a clear resolution.
- Turn support patterns into a prioritized roadmap with Product and Engineering: improve onboarding, provisioning workflows, tooling, self-service, and AI-assisted operations. Validate that changes work before expanding them.
- Establish measures of service health and decision quality. Distinguish fast responses from actual resolution, investigat
