About the Role

We need someone to manage our channels day to day: leading editors, keeping uploads on schedule and quality high, designing thumbnails, and finding new niches and video ideas as we grow.

What you'll do

  • Daily channel management: Own the upload schedule across all channels, coordinate editors and designers, and make sure every video is reviewed and published on time
  • Editor management: Review videos before upload, give editors specific feedback with timestamps, and keep quality consistent

Thumbnails: Design thumbnails for every upload and A/B test variations using YouTube's Test & Compare feature

  • Strategy: Plan content calendars, and improve titles and hooks across all channels
  • Niche and idea research: Find viral, profitable niches for our new channels, validate them with data (outlier videos, small channels growing fast, RPM potential), and suggest video ideas
  • Analytics: Review YouTube Studio weekly (CTR, average view duration, retention) and turn the data into clear action steps
  • Editing: Polish or fix edits when needed, and create example edits for new editors

Hiring: Help test and onboard new editors and animators

What we're looking for

  • At least 1–2 years managing or growing YouTube channels, with proof (channel links and your results)

Experience managing editors or a content team

  • Strong grasp of retention, CTR, packaging, and the YouTube algorithm
  • Strong thumbnail design skills in Photoshop, Canva, or similar, with a portfolio of high-CTR thumbnails
  • Solid editing skills in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut
  • Skilled at outlier research, using tools like vidIQ or TubeBuddy
  • Knowledge of monetization and copyright rules (reused content, fair use)
  • Good written English, organized, and reliable
  • Bonus: experience launching new channels from zero, faceless or documentary channels, and AI tools

How to apply
Send:

  • Links to YouTube channels you've managed or grown, and what you did for each
  • 5 thumbnails you've designed (include CTR if you have it)
  • 1–2 editing samples
  • One result you're proud of (views, subscribers, CTR or retention improvement)
  • Start your application with the words "Retention First" so we know you read the full post

Shortlisted candidates will complete a short paid test task.
