Description The Content Operations Team Lead runs day-to-day execution for a team of Content Moderators processing DMCA and takedown reports. You own prioritization, throughput, and SLA delivery for the queues, and you manage the people who work it — scheduling, coverage, performance, and development.

This is a working lead role: you'll be in the queue alongside your team when volume demands it.

Set daily priorities across the queue and allocate work based on volume, complexity, and rightsholder urgency

Own SLA performance — turnaround time, throughput, and backlog — and report status to Content Ops leadership

Manage scheduling, shift coverage, PTO, and holiday planning so the queue stays covered through peaks and absences

Act as the operational escalation point for ambiguous or edge-case tickets: make the call, or route to senior team members or Legal with a clear recommendation

Run 1:1s, address performance issues directly, and support career development for direct reports

Bring recent moderators up to productivity in live queues, using supplied training materials

Surface operational patterns — volume spikes, recurring rightsholder behaviour, bottlenecks in the workflow — to leadership

Work tickets directly during peak periods, absences, or backlogs
