2026 TRUST & SAFETY AND AI GOVERNANCE JOB BOARDS AND CAREER GUIDE
2026 Trust & Safety and AI Governance Job Boards and Career Guide
Trying to start or advance a career in Trust & Safety, AI governance, or AI safety?
This 2026 career resource guide includes specialized job boards, free courses, newsletters, professional communities, books, podcasts, and industry experts worth following.
I’m Ruby Yuen, a career coach who helps mid-career professionals translate their experience into Trust & Safety and AI governance careers. I created this guide to help you do more than find open positions. Use it to understand how the industry works, learn the language hiring teams use, build credible subject-matter knowledge, and run a more focused job search.
If you are new to Trust & Safety, start with the industry guide below. If you are actively applying, go directly to the job-board sections.
Part 1. Trust & Safety
Start Here: Understand the Trust & Safety Industry
If you are new to the field, read this before you touch a single job board.
1. Navigating the Trust & Safety Industry: A Guide by Michael R. Swenson https://glamorous-leader-36e.notion.site/Navigating-the-Trust-Safety-Industry-A-Guide-3aae341f630c8044ba09d5d2e0d142ba
It explains how the industry is actually structured. Which teams sit where, what the different functions do, and what the work looks like day to day. Most people apply to T&S roles without knowing the difference between a policy team, an operations team, and an enforcement team. That shows in interviews.

Trust & Safety job boards
1. Trust & Safety Professional Association (TSPA) https://www.tspa.org/explore/job-board/The industry association board. Start here.
2. Trust and Safety Jobs https://www.trustandsafetyjobs.com/Subscription required. It also has the most updated postings of any T&S board I have used.
3. All Tech Is Human https://alltechishuman.org/responsible-tech-job-boardResearch and policy roles. Has a visa sponsorship filter, which almost no board offers.
4. Team Community (Digital Rights) https://www.digitalrights.community/job-boardT&S roles at NGOs, press freedom organizations, and civil society groups. Different employers than the big platforms.
5. Marketplace Risk https://www.marketplacerisk.com/job-opportunitiesMarketplace, platform, and risk roles.
6. Hiring Cafe https://hiring.cafe/Filters by sector, travel requirement, and security clearance. Useful when you need to screen out roles you cannot take.
Part 2. AI Safety and AI Governance
7. AI Tech Privacy Jobs https://www.aitechprivacy.com/ai-jobsAI governance and privacy roles specifically.
8. AISafety.com Jobs https://aisafety.com/jobs494 open roles when I checked this week. Research, policy, and operations. Almost nobody in my network is using this board, which is exactly why it is worth your time.

Part 4. Study resources
