• Track player protection risks, trends, and outcomes, and adjust actions based on live data
• Act as the day‑to‑day player protection point of contact for the For Honor team
• Raise awareness of security, fairness, and player experience trade‑offs during production decisions
• Contribute to continuous improvement through threat monitoring and post‑incident reviews
