On this team, you're a big-picture thinker and strategic team-player with a passion for doing what’s right. You work globally and cross-functionally with Google engineers and product managers to identify and fight abuse and fraud cases at Google speed - with urgency.

This role will sometimes involve reviewing graphic, controversial, or offensive video content in line with YouTube’s [Community Guidelines](https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/policies/community-guidelines/) and our [policies](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1311392?hl=en) for the YouTube Partner Program.
