Ads Policy Lead
Job Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced and motivated Ads Policy Lead to join our dynamic team. This senior individual contributor role is pivotal in shaping the future of Reddit’s advertising platform by developing and implementing robust, large-scale policies. You will be instrumental in ensuring responsible business growth by partnering with key departments including Legal, Sales, Operations, Product, and Trust & Safety. Your primary focus will be on driving the research and development of advertising policies, with a particular emphasis on the EMEA region.
Key responsibilities include the strategic development, drafting, and ongoing maintenance of advertising policies across all of Reddit’s ad products. You will serve as the subject matter expert, providing clear and confident policy recommendations and risk assessments to senior leadership and executive stakeholders. This role demands exceptional judgment, as you will be the final decision-maker on highly complex and ambiguous policy escalations, ensuring risk-balanced and definitive rulings on critical issues.
The ideal candidate possesses a minimum of 7 years of experience in policy development, compliance, or standards implementation, preferably within the tech, digital platforms, advertising, or Trust and Safety sectors.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required to effectively translate complex policy and regulatory matters into clear business terms. Furthermore, you should possess an exceptional ability to dissect ambiguous problems, structure decision documents, and articulate risks, trade-offs, and proposed solutions. Experience working directly on advertising policies within a major tech platform and familiarity with leveraging AI tools for workflow optimization are considered significant advantages.
Reddit offers comprehensive global benefits designed to support your lifestyle, including professional development, caregiving support, family planning, gender-affirming care, mental health resources, a private pension plan with employer matching, a 100% employer-sponsored group medical plan, income replacement programs, flexible vacation, paid volunteer time off, and generous paid parental leave.
