Community moderators are typically in charge of overseeing online communities. This could be on forums, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, TikTok, YouTube, or any place where a group of people communicate together online.
In today’s post, we’ve listed legitimate companies that hire for community or social media moderation work from home.
Note that the requirements to apply will vary — some of these companies will require extensive experience while others will be more lax. Pay will vary as well.
Many of these roles are part-time or project-based, so you should check the pay and hours for each opening. Some moderation work also involves reviewing upsetting or graphic content.
Below is your list of several reputable companies that hire moderators. Please keep in mind that not all of these companies are hiring right now.
Good luck! Your list of jobs is below.
9 Work at Home Moderation Jobs
- LiveWorld – Their social media agents work from home reviewing posts and responding to people online. These are hourly, part-time roles, and moderation experience is preferred but not required. You should check the location and shift requirements before applying. You can also read my LiveWorld review.
- ModSquad – Mods provide content moderation, community management, and customer support for different clients. You would work as an independent contractor on available projects, so pay, hours, and location requirements vary. Some projects include phone support, so read the description if you only want moderation work. My ModSquad review explains more about how it works.
- ICUC – This company hires remote content specialists to moderate comments and respond to people on clients’ social media pages. You should have strong writing skills and experience using social media. Openings may require evenings, weekends, or overnight shifts, and the location requirements vary. Read my ICUC review for more about the work.
- Social Element – Occasionally looking for remote moderators and community managers to review content and respond to people on social media. You should use the current posting for the language, location, and computer requirements, since these vary by project. Some listings are for a talent pool for future work. You can read my Social Element review for more about the company.
- Social Factor – This remote-first company accepts applications for project-based social media moderation work. You should have prior moderation experience, and you may be contacted when a project matches your skills and availability. There are location restrictions, and applying does not guarantee immediate work.
- Ignite Social Media – I have noticed this company sometimes has work from home community manager positions open. They have also hired US residents for remote community engagement contracts involving comment moderation and replies. Be sure to check the location and experience requirements, since their other jobs may be office-based.
- Bazaarvoice – This company hires remote content moderators to review customer reviews, questions, comments, images, and videos on client websites. These roles may be part-time and limited to certain US states. You should read the language, education, and experience requirements carefully before applying.
- Gaggle – Gaggle has remote student-safety roles where you would review online activity for signs that a student may need help. The work can involve disturbing content. Some roles also include phone calls with school contacts, so you should read the duties carefully if you need non-phone work. US location restrictions apply.
- Quiip – This Australian company accepts expressions of interest from experienced social media and online community managers. There are home-based opportunities for Australian applicants and a separate route for international applicants who can cover Australian overnight hours. You should have at least two years of relevant experience. An expression of interest is for future work, so an immediate opening is not guaranteed.
