About the job

YouTube’s Trust and Safety (T&S) team is dedicated to making YouTube a safe place for users, viewers, and content creators around the world to belong, create, and express themselves. Whether understanding and solving their online content concerns, navigating within global legal frameworks, or writing and enforcing worldwide policy, the Trust and Safety team is enhancing the YouTube experience, building internet safety.

The Enforcement and Operations (E&O) team ensures that YouTube’s Community Guidelines are effectively and efficiently enforced across the platform. In performing this function, Trust and Safety E&O partners with Product Management and Engineering to improve detection, Global Operations to drive effective and efficient vendor operations, the Partner Management team to support creator experience, and the Policy Development team on policy evolution and guidelines.

As the Director, YouTube Trust and Safety, you will be responsible for managing several critical, global verticals. You will think through the unique challenges of a broad array of policy areas while overseeing scaled workflows to enforce YouTube’s policies accurately and efficiently. This role will review graphic, controversial, and sometimes offensive video content in line with YouTube’s Community Guidelines. This role will require occasional on-call work on weekends and holidays on a rotational basis.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
