About the Role

You should have a proven understanding of what makes viewers click, watch, engage, and return.

The ideal candidate has significant experience with YouTube content creation and understands the difference between creating videos and building a successful channel. This person will become a key creative partner to Dan, helping shape content strategy, improve storytelling, and potentially participate in content production and filming.

Candidates with backgrounds in film production, directing, documentary filmmaking, scriptwriting, or other storytelling-focused disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply.

  • Write and refine compelling video scripts, outlines, and story structures.
  • Craft strong hooks, narrative arcs, pacing strategies, and calls-to-action.
  • Ensure every piece of content is optimized to maximize audience retention and watch time.
  • Elevate the overall storytelling quality of the channel.

Analytics & Optimization

  • Analyze channel performance, audience behavior, and video-level analytics.
  • Use data to identify growth opportunities and improve future content performance.
  • Monitor key metrics including click-through rate, retention, watch time, subscriber conversion, and audience engagement.

Creative Leadership

  • Act as a strategic advisor on all YouTube content decisions.
  • Provide recommendations on what content, messaging, and formats should evolve as the channel grows.
  • Collaborate closely with Dan and the broader content team to improve content quality and performance.
  • Potentially assist with filming, directing, or content production as needed.

Required

  • 3+ years of experience developing, producing, or managing YouTube content with demonstrated results.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
