Technical Program Manager, AI Model Assurance
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe separate Minimum and Preferred? Could combine but better to have subheadings? The rule says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Qualifications as a heading, and inside we can have paragraphs and lists for Minimum and Preferred. Could also separate but not required.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Diversity & Inclusion", "USDS Reasonable Accommodation", "Job Information" maybe? The "Job Information" includes pay transparency and benefits; we need to keep pay and benefits but not the heading "Job Information". We'll extract pay and benefits.
Also remove "For Los Angeles County (unincorporated) Candidates:" etc. That's likely legal boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "About USDS TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is dedicated..." That's about the company; maybe we keep as part of About the Team? Actually we have About the Team section already describing JV AI & Systems Integrity. The "About USDS..." is more general company info; could be considered boilerplate? It's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but it's generic company description. Might be considered not substantive for the role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company description may be considered substantive? However typical job postings include that; but we might keep it under a section like "About the Company" but not in the allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the Company". So we should not create a heading for it. Could we fold it into a paragraph under About the Team? The About the Team already describes the team; the company description is separate. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to omit it, as it's not directly about the role. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This company description is not those categories. But we have limited headings; we could include it as a
without a heading? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include paragraphs not under headings? Probably yes, but they'd be orphaned. Better to include under a heading like "About the Team" maybe expand? But the About the Team already given; we could add extra paragraph after that. However we must not invent headings. We could just add a
after the About the Team
content.
Similarly, "Why Join Us" etc is likely boilerplate motivational; could be considered not substantive? Might be considered fluff. Might be removed as it's not specific to role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; motivational fluff may be considered not substantive? Hard to know. Safer to keep only sections that have concrete info: About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe "Skills" not present.
We need to extract Benefits: list includes medical, dental, vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid parental leave, short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, wellbeing benefits, 10 paid holidays per year, 10 paid sick days per year, 17 days of Paid Personal Time (prorated upon hire with increasing accruals by tenure). Also note that benefits may vary depending on nature of employment and country work location; but we keep the list.
Pay: base salary range $118800 - $269800 annually. Also mention may vary outside range depending on factors; base pay is part of total package; may be eligible for discretionary bonuses/incentives, and restricted stock units. We'll include that.
Schedule: "As such, the company is shifting from a hybrid work model to a fully in-person schedule up to 5 days a week." So schedule: fully in-person up to 5 days a week.
Now we need to format.

About the Team
JV AI & Systems Integrity is the independent function inside the TikTok USDS Joint Venture security organization that opines on whether generative AI features shipping to US users meet the JV's safety and content commitments. We operate the approval gates, testing programs, deviation adjudication, and audit-facing evidence pipeline for every JV-covered GenAI surface — including CapCut, Gauth, TikTok GenAI features, and emerging apps like Pippit, Dreamina, and Hypic. We work in close partnership with legal, safety, and engineering teams.
About the Role
The Technical Product Manager for AI Model Assurance owns the roadmap for how our Content Assurance program is instrumented and run in the model assurance area. Where our Assurance Analysts drive day-to-day approvals, dossiers, and oversight reports, and our engineering team builds and operates the underlying platform, you are the person who decides what to build next, how success is measured, and how the pieces fit together into a coherent, audit-ready system. This is a technical product role, not a coordination role. You will write the requirements and success metrics that engineering builds against, and you will be accountable for whether our approval workflow gets faster, more consistent, and more defensible each quarter.
Responsibilities
- Own the Model Assurance product roadmap end-to-end: intake, approval workflow, change detection, evaluation dossier tooling, dashboards, and audit evidence pipeline. Sequence work against program risk, launch volume, and audit milestones.
- Translate CA policy, control catalog, and analyst pain points into crisp requirements, success metrics, and acceptance criteria that engineering can build against without ambiguity.
- Partner with the engineering team on design, trade-off calls, and delivery; drive prioritization when scope and time do not both fit.
- Define the metrics that describe program health — approval throughput and SLA, materiality mix, unnotified-change incidents, envelope breaches, validation coverage, evidence readiness — and make sure the systems of record can produce them without hand-updated trackers.
- Sit inside the launch review loop for high-signal releases; use those cases to sharpen requirements for the next generation of tooling instead of only closing the current ticket.
- Work directly with the Assurance Analysts to identify the highest-cost manual steps in the workflow, size the opportunity, and turn them into prioritized roadmap items with clear before/after targets.
- Partner with GRC on audit and third-party pre-assessment needs so evidence capture, versioning, and retrieval are a product capability, not a fire drill.
- Write and maintain the PRDs, design reviews, and change logs that make the program reproducible and audit-defensible.
- Report to CA leadership on roadmap progress, program KPIs, and the next set of investments, and represent Model Assurance in cross-functional forums.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in a technical, risk, or policy-adjacent field (e.g., Computer Science, Information Security, Data / Analytics, Trust & Safety, Compliance), or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of technical product management, model-risk / model-ops product work, or platform / internal-tools product ownership, including at least one role owning a roadmap for a cross-functional workflow with hard SLAs or audit exposure.
- Demonstrated ability to write PRDs, requirements, and success metrics that engineering teams can build against — not high-level narratives that hand implementation choices back to engineering.
- Direct working knowledge of at least one of: generative AI / LLM systems, content moderation classifiers, trust & safety operations, model-risk management, or AI/ML evaluation. You should be able to reason about an evaluation dossier and challenge conclusions on substance.
- Fluency reading SQL and interpreting dashboards well enough to define metrics precisely, validate what the numbers actually mean, and push back when a proposed metric doesn't answer the question.
- Demonstrated ability to drive engineering and cross-functional partners (policy, legal, security, GRC) to a decision on a fixed clock.
- Written communication strong enough to author PRDs, design reviews, and leadership updates without heavy editing.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior work under the USDS National Security Agreement, a bank / model-risk governance regime (e.g., SR 11-7), or a formal AI management system (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001).
- Experience owning product for a third-party pre-assessment or independent audit workstream — evidence capture, control walk-through packs, and finding-remediation tracking.
- Familiarity with evaluation harnesses, red-teaming pipelines, or adversarial test set management for text, image, audio, or video GenAI systems.
- Experience defining metrics from raw event data and working with BI / dashboarding tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, internal equivalents).
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) savings plan with company match
- Paid parental leave
- Short-term and long-term disability coverage
- Life insurance
- Wellbeing benefits
- 10 paid holidays per year
- 10 paid sick days per year
- 17 days of Paid Personal Time (prorated upon hire with increasing accruals by tenure)
Pay
The base salary range for this position is $118,800 - $269,800 annually. Compensation may vary outside of this range depending on a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies and experience, and location. Base pay is one part of the Total Package that may be eligible for additional discretionary bonuses/incentives, and restricted stock units.
Schedule
The company is shifting from a hybrid work model to a fully in-person schedule up to 5 days a week.
We need to ensure no extra headings like "About USDS". Also ensure we didn't include duplicated lines. Also ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Diversity & Inclusion", "USDS Reasonable Accommodation", "Job Information", "For Los Angeles County..." etc. We removed those.
Check that we preserved all substantive info: About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities (all bullet points), Qualifications (minimum and preferred), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also we included note about benefits may vary depending on nature of employment and country work location; we omitted that sentence. Is that substantive? It's a qualifier; maybe we
