About the Role

As Product Policy Manager, Regulation, you will map external regulatory and legislative trends and synthesize them into concrete research, product, and policy requirements. You will connect deep expertise in regulation and public policy with a sophisticated understanding of AI and strong product judgment. Your remit will span frontier AI, youth, wellbeing, use in high-stakes domains, deceptive use, and other emerging issues. Working closely with Legal and Global Affairs, you will help Product, Engineering, Research, and Safety teams understand what external developments mean for their work, what decisions or evidence are needed, and how to act.

Responsibilities

  • Map and prioritize regulatory and legislative developments across jurisdictions and AI issue areas, distinguishing enacted requirements, proposals, guidance, and emerging expectations, and assessing their relevance, uncertainty, timing, and implications for our models and products.
  • Translate external developments into actionable research questions, evaluation needs, product requirements, and policy recommendations, identifying gaps in evidence, defining the intended outcome and acceptance criteria, and making tradeoffs and open questions clear.
  • Advise Product, Engineering, Research, and Safety teams throughout design, launch, and iteration, partnering with Legal on legal interpretation and applicability, and with Global Affairs on legislative context and external engagement, to develop feasible implementation options and clear ownership.
  • Maintain traceability from external signals to internal decisions, requirements, and implementation, tracking material changes, surfacing dependencies and emerging risks, and using research, product evidence, and expert input to refine recommendations and inform external policy discussions.

Requirements

  • Substantial experience in AI or technology regulation, public policy, product policy, or a related field, including interpreting complex regulatory and legislative developments across jurisdictions and translating them into action.
  • Deep understanding of AI, including model capabilities and limitations, training and deployment, evaluations, and safety mitigations, with the ability to reason about how requirements differ at the model, product, and deployment levels and identify where further research is needed.
  • Strong record of product advising and close partnership with product managers, engineers, and researchers, with the ability to turn ambiguous concerns into specifications, implementation options, acceptance criteria, and decisions that improve products.
  • Sound judgment under uncertainty, ability to prioritize across a broad portfolio, and manage work from an emerging external signal through implementation and iteration.
  • Clear and precise communication with technical teams, legal and policy experts, and executives, with the ability to explain regulatory complexity, distinguish evidence from assumptions, and resolve disagreement constructively.
  • Breadth across AI policy issues—including frontier risks, youth, wellbeing, high-stakes uses, and deceptive use—and the ability to build depth quickly with subject-matter experts, research, data, and user insights.
