WHAT YOU’LL DO
  • Use SB Nation tools to offer consistent moderation across the SB Nation network.
  • Act as an expert at dealing with sensitive subjects, topics, and discussions and understand how to communicate with community members in a respectful and professional manner.
  • Be a strong, empathetic, and when necessary authoritative voice whenever it is necessary to engage with a community or a community member.
  • Moderate comments from a centralized moderation queue, approve or reject filtered or reported comments, and take appropriate measures when necessary, which may include warning, suspending or banning community members, including informing the community member why the action was taken. 
  • Document your moderation decisions and actions when necessary for your manager and for the relevant community leader
  • Work in concert with individual community leaders to tailor your moderation approach whenever and wherever necessary.

  • Maintain an open line of communication and conversation with your Community Editor team, your managers and Site Managers to help deal with complex situations and to maintain a positive team environment.
  • Moderation is your lead responsibility and must take priority, but any non-moderation time can be spent copyediting on approved communities, or other community or administrative duties as outlined and approved by your manager.
  • Be an expert on the user agreement and community guidelines, which are standard across all communities in the network.
WHO YOU ARE
  • You have an eye for detail and a passion for getting things right 
  • You know how to nurture smart, effective conversations

  • You have strong written and verbal communication skills 
  • You’re able to manage multiple tracks of work at once, balancing both short-term and long-term projects simultaneously
