Role Summary

We’re looking for one strong content owner to run our YouTube and short-form content end-to-end.

You will be responsible for filming the founder, turning raw footage into high-quality long-form and short-form content, and publishing consistently across platforms.

This role covers everything from idea → filming the founder → edit → thumbnail → post.

We already have clear SOPs and templates for:

• Video structure & scripting

• Title research

• Thumbnail research

Your job is to execute using these systems, improve them over time, and own quality.

This is not a social media manager role and not an agency role.
This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy content role.

What You’ll Do

🧠 Research & Planning

• Research and ideate YouTube video ideas

• Research and write high-performing titles

• Research thumbnail concepts and references

• Plan the next 4 videos at all times in Google Sheets

🎥 Filming (Founder-Focused)

• Film the founder for all YouTube videos

• Set up and manage:

  • Camera

  • Audio

  • Lighting

• Follow shot lists and framing guidelines

• Capture lifestyle shots and B-roll when needed

• Ensure clean, repeatable filming setups

✂️ Editing (Long + Short Form)

• Edit long-form YouTube videos with strong pacing and storytelling

• Cut short-form clips from long-form footage for:

  • YouTube Shorts

  • Instagram Reels

  • TikTok

• Ensure strong hooks, clean transitions, and high retention

🎨 Thumbnails

• Create YouTube thumbnails

• Apply proven thumbnail research frameworks

• Optimize thumbnails for curiosity, emotion, and mobile viewing

🚀 Publishing

• Upload and publish long-form videos on YouTube

• Publish short-form content on Instagram and TikTok

• Handle captions, basic scheduling, and posting consistency

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• Comfortable filming people, especially founders

• Strong YouTube intuition (you know what’s engaging vs boring)

• Solid video editing skills (Premiere Pro / Final Cut / DaVinci)

• Basic thumbnail design ability (Photoshop / Figma / Canva)

• Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented

• Comfortable owning the entire content process

Nice-to-Have

• Experience filming founders, creators, or personal brands

• Experience growing YouTube or short-form channels

• Understanding of pacing, hooks, and retention

• Interest in entrepreneurship or lifestyle content

Output Expectations

• 4 long-form YouTube videos per month

• 20–25 short-form clips per month

• Consistent quality and publishing cadence

Why Join

• Direct collaboration with the founder

• Full ownership of a YouTube content engine

• Clear systems and templates (no guesswork)

• Opportunity to grow into a Creative Producer / Content Lead

• Build a serious founder-led YouTube channel
