Senior Policy Analyst – Trust and Safety

Introduction to the team:

Help shape the most trusted travel marketplace in the world! At Expedia Group, our mission is to power global travel for everyone, everywhere. To achieve this, we must ensure our marketplace is governed by fair, scalable, and enforceable policies that build trust with both travelers and partners. The Trust and Safety team plays a critical role in this mission by developing policies, building enforcement capabilities, and enabling swift responses to protect travelers and partners across all lines of business.

We’re looking for a Senior Policy Analyst to help design, launch, and manage the policies that govern how our marketplace operates. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams—including Product, Legal, Operations, and Communications—to ensure our policies are clear, actionable, and aligned with broader business goals. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, collaborating across disciplines, and using technology to scale impact.

In this role you will:

  • Create and manage marketplace policies across a range of topics, including safety, booking accountability, and platform integrity.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners to ensure policies are enforceable, measurable, and aligned with product and operational realities.

  • Draft and maintain business requirement documents to support policy enablement.

  • Leverage generative AI to accelerate policy research and proactive enforcement.

  • Monitor policy performance using data and qualitative insights to identify areas for improvement and inform updates.

  • Contribute to risk identification and mitigation, helping the team stay ahead of emerging marketplace issues.

Experience and qualifications:

  • You have 2+ years of experience in policy, Trust & Safety, or a related field.

  • You communicate clearly and stay organized, even when managing multiple workstreams and collaborating across teams.

  • You’re confident presenting to stakeholders and senior leadership, and you know how to translate complex topics into clear, actionable insights.

  • You’ve drafted or contributed to structured documents such as business requirement documents, policy briefs, or process documentation.

  • You’re familiar with generative AI tools and use them to enhance research, drafting, or summarization.

  • You bring a collaborative mindset and are motivated by contributing to a mission-driven team focused on building a safer, more trustworthy travel experience.
