About the job

Fast-paced, dynamic, and proactive, YouTube’s Trust & Safety team is dedicated to making YouTube a safe place for users, viewers, and content creators around the world to 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 & Safety team is on the frontlines of enhancing the YouTube experience, building internet safety, and protecting free speech in our ever-evolving digital world.

As a Trust and Safety Policy Manager, you’re a skilled and experienced manager, adept at context and someone who naturally rallies colleagues around shared goals. You will manage a team of policy leads working on various content moderation issues facing the video platform today. You will act as a “player/motivator” on the team, both leading your team and driving independent policy initiatives. The policy team covers a wide variety of topics, and this role will contribute across multiple areas. This will sometimes involve reviewing graphic, controversial, or offensive video content in line with YouTube’s Community Guidelines and our policies for the YouTube Partner Program.

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.
