About the job

YouTube’s Social, Community and Escalation Operations team works 24/7 at the forefront of online engagement, managing both public conversations and sensitive user interactions. We are the brand's voice on social and community channels, actively shaping public discourse, fostering community growth, and scaling support. Simultaneously, we protect brand reputation and user safety through direct outreach and expert escalation management for sensitive and security-related issues.

As the Policy Vertical Lead for Social and Escalation Operations, you'll be on the front lines of how YouTube shapes and protects our brand reputation 24/7. In this role, you will lead YouTube’s social operations and escalation management strategy for the policy vertical, covering trust and safety, business generation, and other responsibility enforcement efforts. With your written communication skills, and a bias toward action, you will ensure rapid problem-solving for policy escalations. You will be directly responsible for building and maintaining operational excellence (e.g., workflow design, knowledge management, communication materials, training efforts), and advocating social, community, and escalation insights. You are expected to be the authority on how users will react to new policies and work with cross-functional teams to improve external communications, user journeys, and escalation experiences. As a strategic cross-functional partner, you will play a critical role in preempting and resolving urgent escalations, while shaping our 24x7 global crisis response strategy.

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.

  • Drive cross-functional alignment for trust and safety, security, legal, and governance leaders during fast-moving crises. Analyze trends to present to executives, synthesizing escalation patterns, social feedback, and bugs into policy insight reports.
  • Ensure global regulatory compliance and operational readiness for key mandates (e.g., GDPR) across policy and business generation products.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
