Job Summary

Drive end-to-end YouTube content for a construction audience, owning scripting, shooting, editing, and publishing as the on-screen host.

Own the full video lifecycle from ideation to final delivery across YouTube, LinkedIn, and shorts.
Must-have: 3–6 years of on-camera video content with YouTube retention experience.
Standout: Proactive content strategy, AI-assisted ideation, and authentic presenter for trades audiences.

Job Description

Responsibilities

Collaborate with the organic growth lead and content team to develop Workyard's YouTube content strategy. You are not handed a content plan to execute. You bring ideas, identify gaps, and help shape what gets made and why.
Develop a rolling content calendar that keeps production consistently ahead of publishing. The channel should never stall because planning fell behind.
Stay close to what is resonating in the construction and trades space on YouTube and other social platforms. Bring that intelligence into planning conversations.
Use AI tools to accelerate ideation, research, and script development. This is expected, not optional.
Write scripts from a content brief. You own the final script without needing a separate writer. Scripts should be ready to shoot with minimal rewrites.
Plan each shoot: location, shot list, any on-site access required, and any minimal crew or equipment coordination needed.
Structure scripts for YouTube specifically: strong hook in the first 30 seconds, clear narrative arc, and a payoff worth watching to the end.
Appear on camera as the primary presenter across Workyard's video content on YouTube, LinkedIn, and other channels. This is a core requirement of the role.
Present in a way that feels natural and credible to a U.S. construction and trades audience. You do not need to be a polished broadcaster, but you need to be someone that the audience trusts and keeps watching.
Candidates must submit a video sample as part of the application.

Requirements

You have 3 to 6 years of video content experience with a portfolio and on-camera samples to show. We will ask for both.
You have produced YouTube content specifically, with an understanding of audience behaviour, retention, and format norms.
You are proficient in at least one primary editing platform. You are proficient in Adobe After Effects or an equivalent motion graphics tool.
You can write scripts that work on screen. Natural dialogue, a clear arc, and a hook that earns the next 10 minutes. Not academic copy.
You can shoot your own content. You understand lighting, framing, and audio well enough to produce footage that does not need rescuing in post.
You edit with intention. You understand that pacing, sequencing, and rhythm are what make a video hold attention, and you make deliberate choices at every step.
You know the basics of motion graphics well enough to bring static assets to life in After Effects or an equivalent tool.
You are comfortable on camera and seen as authentic to a U.S. construction and trades audience. This does not mean you need a broadcasting background, but it does mean the audience you are speaking to will trust what they see.
You can shift gears for short-form. Faster cuts, on-screen text, sound design that works without headphones. You are comfortable in both modes.
You bring ideas to the table, not just execution. You are proactive about what the channel should be doing next and bring that strategic thinking to the table.
You use AI tools to work faster without cutting corners on quality and are actively passionate about the advancements and precision these tools can bring to your craft.
You are organised and predictable about turnarounds. If you are late, the channel is late. You hit deadlines and flag blockers early.
