Policy Enforcement Manager, Suicide and Self-Harm

Job Description

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 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 & 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 Suicide and Self Harm Policy Enforcement Manager, you'll be responsible for working end-to-end with global teams to prevent violent content from appearing on the site, and build a safer online experience for all users around the world.

This role will review graphic, controversial, and sometimes offensive video content in line with YouTube's Community Guidelines.

In this role, you might be required to work non-standard working hours, including on-call rotation work hours.

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.
