About the role

Amee and Atumpan will protect under-18s by default, and that promise needs a specialist behind it. You'll design the protections for young people, handle suspected abuse material through a specialist, isolated route, and build the reporting relationships that take months to set up, well before Amee opens.

What you'll do

Design protections for under-18s with product and engineering: safe defaults, limits on contact and careful discovery
Own the specialist, isolated handling of suspected child sexual abuse material, which never goes to a general AI model
Report to the proper authorities quickly and correctly
Build relationships with Ghana's child online protection reporting channels and international child-protection organisations
Be our named child-safety contact for authorities and partners
Write our child safety policy, and train moderators to spot and escalate risks to children
Advise on safeguarding wherever our products are used by schools and organisations that serve children
Report on our child safety work in the transparency report

What you'll bring

At least five years in child protection, safeguarding or child safety online
Knowledge of Ghana's laws on children and on online protection
Experience working with law enforcement or child-protection agencies
Policy writing that people can follow under pressure
Steadiness with distressing material, and the willingness to use the support we provide
Discretion and sound judgement
If you're a Ghanaian graduate: National Service completed, or exempt

Nice to have

Experience at an online platform or a child helpline
Knowledge of international child-protection reporting systems
Training or teaching experience

How you'll work

On site. You'll work from our office at 10A Mega Street, Adentan, Accra, every working day.
Child-safety material is handled only in the office, never at home, and you'll be reachable for the most urgent escalations.
Hours. Standard office hours.
This is a permanent, full-time role.
Reporting. You'll report to the Head of Trust and Safety.
Police clearance. This role is safety-sensitive, so an offer depends on a police clearance certificate. We ask for it only at the offer stage, and only with your consent.

Looking after you. This work involves exposure to harmful material, and we take that seriously. We commit to limits on how much harmful material anyone reviews in a shift, to rotating people between harder and lighter work, and to access to confidential professional support for everyone on the team. National Service personnel and interns never see graphic or child-safety material.
