This is a unique opportunity to influence business-wide outcomes, lead meaningful change and help deliver best-in-class moderation experiences that bring excitement to life, safely.

Responsibilities Include:

• Lead the moderation function to ensure harmful, unsafe or inappropriate content is identified and managed effectively.
• Coach and develop a team of Community Moderators, creating a high-performing, inclusive and engaged culture.
• Drive consistency and quality across moderation processes, standards and decision-making frameworks.
• Monitor moderation performance, emerging trends and customer risks, using insights to improve outcomes.

• Manage incidents, escalations and remediation activities, driving sustainable improvements and risk mitigation.
