About the role
The Quality & Training Specialist (QTS) department ensures that safety policies are enforced accurately and consistently at scale for ByteDance's Video Safety Operations. The role acts as the strategic bridge between high-level policy and boots-on-the-ground execution, focusing on systemic scalability, proactive operational risk identification and mitigation, and team excellence. This role will run analytical audits of human moderation, drive root cause analysis and calibration sessions, interpret safety policy for complex cases, and lead policy and training cascades for internal and BPO teams.
What you will do
- Quality Assurance & Auditing: Conduct regular analytical audits of human moderation, ensuring all processes comply with data protection and Trust & Safety standards while maintaining specific audit targets (e.g., Accuracy, RCA, and Appeal success rates).
- Data Analysis & RCA: Perform deep-dives into recurring quality issues through Root Cause Analysis (RCA), spot error patterns, and translate data into actionable feedback for Operational Guidelines & Standards and Operations Teams to drive continuous process optimization.
- Policy Interpretation & Curation: Act as an authority to provide expert judgment on complex, ambiguous, or high-risk cases under quality methodologies and processes (like KOM). Deeply interpret safety guidelines and validate "golden sets" (benchmark data) to guide enforcement accuracy.
- Calibration & Collaboration: Lead calibration sessions to ensure consistency across different moderation teams. Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (BPO Partners, PPS, PS, and OGS teams) to simplify complex policy explanations and drive global quality goals.
- Operational Oversight & Escalation: Manage and resolve unprecedented "edge cases" with speed and accuracy. Drive policy cascading to ensure new policies & operational guidelines updates are 100% communicated and implemented across all relevant internal and external partners.
- Technical Reporting & AI Utilization: Leverage AI to improve performance and reduce manual, repetitive tasks. Utilize QA dashboards, RCA tools, and calibration platforms to prepare comprehensive weekly and monthly reports focusing on market accuracy, error trends, and policy gaps.
- Training & Policy Cascade: Lead or support training rollouts for new policy changes and operational guideline updates, especially for BPO staff, ensuring changes are clearly understood, operationalized, and consistently applied. This is estimated to take up around 20% of total monthly output deliverables.
- This role requires commitment to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays as operational needs demand.
