- Work with Planning, Procurement, Finance, and Commercial & Contract teams to collect inputs and maintain accurate records.
- Use AI as a default working layer for research, analysis, data validation, reporting, and workflow automation, selecting the right tools and checking outputs before they inform decisions.
- Document processes, follow agreed controls, and handle sensitive financial and operational information responsibly.
- Build knowledge of Trust & Safety operations, budgeting, and cost management through structured learning and hands-on work.

- How global operating budgets are built, monitored, and translated into business decisions.
- How cost, workforce, and operational data connect across Planning, Finance, Procurement, and Operations.
- How to turn an ambiguous business question into a structured analysis and clear recommendation.
