The role involves leading YouTube strategy, focusing on creator-first programming and long-form content, while collaborating with various teams to ensure high-quality content delivery.
Responsibilities
- Define the channel architecture — how the channel is organized, what content pillars it's built on, and how it grows over time
- Develop the approach for the core content systems: an educational/tutorial system, a creator-led long-form approach, and a creator showcase approach
- Set packaging and publishing recommendations — titles, thumbnails, descriptions, playlists, cadence, and rollout — grounded in what the platform rewards
- Build the rollout plan across the content window, with a view toward future quarters
- Review briefs and source materials, and lead workshops and working sessions to align the team and client
- Lead concepting and development of tutorial content — topic refinement, episode framing, recommended formats, scripting, and edit direction for long-form 16:9 episodes
- Lead creator content concepting for long-form creator episodes — story outlines, script and episode structure, edit guidance, and creative visual inputs
- Own creator showcase packaging — titles, thumbnail direction, descriptions, playlist placement, and creator crediting
- Carry concepts through multiple internal and client review rounds, keeping quality high and feedback moving
- Partner closely with the account lead, project management, creative, and production to translate strategy into work that ships
- Participate in a standing weekly client status meeting (5:30–6:30pm PT) and an internal scrum, supplemented by ad hoc working sessions and written communication through the client's preferred platforms
- Surface risks and opportunities early, and bring solutions, not just flags
- Navigate ambiguity with confidence in an environment where direction evolves and strong translation into execution matters
Skills
- A demonstrated track record of building and growing YouTube channels — you can point to channels and audiences you've helped grow
- Deep, current knowledge of the YouTube platform: how the algorithm works, what drives discovery, watch time, and retention, and what works versus what doesn't
- Command of both the mechanics (packaging, thumbnails, titles, publishing cadence, analytics) and the content approach (formats, storytelling, and editorial that holds an audience)
- Experience developing long-form content and/or creator-led programs, ideally including educational or tutorial content
- Strong concepting and editorial instincts, with the ability to give clear edit and format direction
- Clear, confident communication across presentations, written communication, and client conversations
- Comfort in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve and ambiguity is part of the process
- Experience working with global stakeholders across time zones and navigating cross-cultural working relationships is a plus
