The people here at Apple don't just create products - they create the kind of wonder that's revolutionized entire industries! It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspire innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts.

Trust & Safety (T&S) is a new function, whose objective is to ensure we have the policies, products and programs in place to enable our customers, partners, suppliers and the communities we serve to view the entire Apple ecosystem as the safest and most trusted in the world!

Use these capabilities/connections to identify areas where T&S policy needs to be established, improved or re-aligned and drive those efforts

Identify all sources for potential T&S issues and establish mechanisms for reporting/tracking those issues and their resolution. In many cases this will involve tapping into existing mechanisms to extract insights and to ensure T&S issues are identified and handled consistently according to T&S policy

Effectively plan for, lead and report on T&S policy development, operating model implementation and key project progress. This should include identifying the key executive stakeholders and ensuring their broad dedication to the program of work
