German Speaking Content Moderator (With Relocation Package)

Are you someone with native German skills who's meticulous, caring, and passionate about online safety? Do you thrive in a bustling global setting? If so, consider joining our expanding e-commerce team in Qormi, Malta, as a German-Speaking Online Safety and Moderation Specialist. This is a great chance to play a key role in keeping our online community safe and reliable for everyone.

About the Role

As an Online Safety and Moderation Specialist, you'll be on the front lines, protecting our users and brand on our lively e-commerce platform. This is a hybrid position; you'll work from our Qormi office two days a week for teamwork and engagement, and remotely for the other three days.

Your main duty will be to carefully review user-submitted content, ensuring it strictly follows our community rules, terms of service, and legal guidelines. Your sharp attention to detail will be vital for spotting and handling content that breaks our rules, directly helping to create a positive and safe user experience.

Beyond moderating content, you'll also provide essential support to our users. You'll be their primary contact for questions and issues, communicating with our community via email and chat in both German and English. This dual role requires excellent communication skills, empathy, and a strong commitment to delivering outstanding user experiences.

While having previous experience in online moderation or customer support is a plus, it's not a strict requirement. We're dedicated to nurturing talent and offer thorough training to ensure you gain all the skills and knowledge needed to excel in this demanding yet rewarding position. We're looking for individuals who are hardworking, eager to learn, and genuinely interested in making the online world safer.

• Staying Current: You'll continuously keep up-to-date with the latest online safety trends, new platform policies, and industry best practices to anticipate and address new challenges.

2. User Support

• Troubleshooting & Escalation: You'll expertly troubleshoot user issues and, when necessary, efficiently escalate complex or tricky problems to the right internal teams for specialized help.
• User Education: You'll proactively inform users about our platform policies, helping them understand the rules and encouraging positive, safe online behavior within our community.
• Accurate Record-Keeping: You'll maintain precise and detailed records of all user interactions for clear documentation and analysis.

3. Collaboration & Reporting

• Team Collaboration: You'll work closely and effectively with various internal teams, including Legal, Product Development, and Engineering, to address new online safety issues and collectively enhance platform safety features.
• Performance Reporting: You'll help with regular reports on key moderation data, identify content trends, and provide insightful analysis to support strategic decisions.
• Continuous Learning: You'll actively participate in team meetings, workshops, and ongoing training sessions to continuously improve your skills, expand your knowledge, and stay at the forefront of online safety practices.
