Job Summary

Own and optimize the video content pipeline from ideation to packaging, scripting, and performance, with a strong focus on YouTube metrics and audience retention.

  • Own end-to-end content process from ideation to packaging and scripting
  • Lead testing loops for titles, thumbnails, and hooks to optimize retention

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the video content pipeline. Generate and filter video ideas, sourcing input from across the marketing team and our extensive research.
  • Own packaging of the titles and thumbnails. You'll craft them and test them.
  • Write scripts for medium to long form videos that make money and Bitcoin topics clear, engaging, and impossible to click away from. Some videos will be host-led, others animated.
  • Develop hooks and introductions to retain the audience and provide structure.
  • Ensure the story edit matches the script in structure and pacing.
  • Drive our success metrics on YouTube: view count, retention, and returning-viewer rate, and iterate relentlessly on what the data tells you.
  • Build the systems that let us produce quality content consistently: The idea backlog, filtering process, scripting process, and a testing loop for titles and thumbnails.

Requirements

  • A track record of growing a video channel, your own or one you led. Not just script writing, but ideas and packaging that measurably moved views and retention.
  • An obsession with packaging. You study titles and thumbnails, you have real opinions about why videos win or lose, and you can prove your craft with examples.
  • Exceptional writing and storytelling. You can take a dense economic idea and make a stranger care about it in a single sentence.
  • A strong understanding of the YouTube algorithm, retention curves, and click-through rate.
  • You have a solid understanding of Bitcoin in the economic sense, and what makes it an answer to many of the financial problems the world faces.
  • A strong sense of ownership. You own the idea end to end, you gather input from the team, but the call is yours, and you stand behind the result.
  • You have integrity and know how to present the facts honestly and the brand professionally.

Preferred

  • On-camera, interviewing, or hosting experience.
  • A background in finance, economics, or journalism.

Benefits

  • Unlimited Paid Time Off
  • Parental leave, separate from PTO policy
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance + 401k for US based employees
  • Remote option: You can work from anywhere in the Americas or Europe.
