Job Summary

Drive end-to-end YouTube content production with interview-led narratives, conversion funnels, and data-driven growth tests to boost retention and audience engagement.

  • Own interview-driven storytelling from concept to cut
  • Must-have: Peel the Onion interviewing, strong 15-second hooks
  • Standout: Brand-focused YouTube growth experience and test-driven optimization

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Production: Script, storyboard, and direct "Human-Centric" content. You will own the interview process, turning dry technical interviews into narratives that capture the "Browse" algorithm.
  • The Conversion Engine: Design and implement YouTube-specific funnels, including pinned comments, custom "Link in Bio" destinations, and tailored CTAs within the first 20% of every video.
  • Advanced Retention Editing: Manage a team of internal/external editors to ensure "Pacing for Retention." You are the final sign-off on whether content is "boring" or "bingeable."
  • Growth Experiments: Run sophisticated A/B tests on thumbnails and titles using 2026-standard tools (e.g., YouTube’s "Test & Compare" and AI heatmapping).
  • Cross-Functional Liaison: Sync with Sales to identify "closing" stories (testimonials) and with HR to identify "hiring" stories (employee spotlights).

Requirements

  • Narrative & Interviewing
  • - Psychological Interviewing: Mastery of the "Peel the Onion" technique to extract authentic, emotional soundbites from non-actors.
  • - Hook Crafting: Expert-level mastery of the first 15 seconds of a video to "open a loop" that retains B2B and B2C audiences.
  • - Visual Continuity: A sharp eye for brand aesthetics, ensuring all content—from office tours to testimonials—maintains a high-end documentary feel.

Preferred

  • Proven track record of growing a brand-focused YouTube channel.
  • Experience in the financial services or mortgage industry is a plus but not required.
  • Portfolio demonstrating high-fidelity storytelling and measurable growth results.

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k
  • Paid time off and sick days
  • Paid holidays
  • Long-term paid disability
  • Paid maternity and bonding leave
  • Full desk equipment provided
