The Twitter Service organization creates meaningful connections with our customers that promote healthy exchange in the public conversation. We do this by developing customer support solutions at scale in a rapidly changing and global environment. Whether we're optimizing operations, guarding the ability of customers to safely use Twitter through investigation of and  enforcement against those who violate our terms, or driving content and support channel strategies, we're with our customers every step of the way.

Do you love the internet, technology, and media? Do you have a passion for keeping users safe online while allowing the weirdness and freedom of the internet to shine? Do you love solving hard problems for questions no one has answered or yet asked? 

We’re looking for a highly motivated, goal-oriented, team player to join our Media Operations team. Success in this role requires someone who is curious, analytical, disciplined, proactive, and has a knack for managing multiple tasks efficiently. The team is tight knit but spread around the world and so we value a healthy combination of independence and teamwork.

Please note that this position involves exposure to sensitive, illegal and graphic content including but not limited to vulgar language, misinformation, depictions of violence, pornography, and other graphic media.

Twitter Service is seeking an Media Operations Program Manager in the North American (NA) region to work closely with policy, product, and vendor partners to launch, scale, and optimize solutions for the enforcement of safety and misinformation policies.

What You’ll Do:

As a Media Ops Program Manager , you will work closely with key stakeholders (e.g. vendors, policy specialists, product managers, engineering, and more) to ensure new policies and products are launched quickly and efficiently. Additionally, you will ensure the day-to-day operations are running well. You will proactively make changes that improve operations and reverse negative trends. You will handle high-priority user escalations and edge cases as they come in. 

In this role we are also looking for someone to help represent Media Operations and the wider User Operations team to local stakeholders within Twitter.

• Use subject matter expertise, signals, and insights to design and implement scalable solutions to improve Twitter safety support

• Lead daily media enforcement operations and agent workflows across multiple markets responsive  to complex user escalations and reports, especially related to media on all Twitter owned platforms.
