Job Description
Responsibilities
- Owning the content strategy and editorial calendar for multiple YouTube channels across sport and entertainment.
- Generating and pitching content ideas grounded in audience behaviour, platform mechanics and what's actually working right now.
- Briefing, producing and/or editing video content, including long-form, Shorts and supporting formats.
- Writing and optimising titles, thumbnails, descriptions and hooks built to perform on YouTube specifically, not just repurposed from elsewhere.
- Managing freelance editors or production resource where required, including briefing, quality control and turnaround.
- Analysing channel and video performance, and turning data into clear, actionable recommendations.
- Reporting to clients and senior stakeholders with confidence and translating performance into commercial language they care about.
- Staying ahead of platform changes, formats and competitor channels across sport, culture and entertainment.
- Working closely with internal teams and client-side stakeholders to keep ideas moving from concept to publish.
- Proven experience managing or producing for YouTube channels at a brand, rights-holder, team, athlete, agency or publisher.
- A genuine, detailed understanding of what makes YouTube content perform: hooks, pacing, packaging, retention, thumbnails, titles and the platform's recommendation behaviour.
- Hands-on production or editing capability. You don\'t need to be a master editor, but you need to be comfortable in the process, not just briefing it from a distance.
- Experience working directly with clients or senior stakeholders, including managing feedback and expectations under pressure.
- Sharp editorial judgement. You can explain why something worked or didn\'t, not just point at the view count.
- Comfort working at pace across multiple accounts and priorities without dropping quality.
- Confidence managing freelancers or external resource, including giving clear briefs and holding a quality bar.
- A genuine interest in sport, motorsport or culture-led content. You don\'t need to be a die-hard fan of every property, but you need to respect the intensity and commercial stakes of these audiences.
- Salary range £38,000 – £45,000 (dependant on experience).
- Company commission scheme
- Hybrid working (2 days/week in London office)
- 25 days paid holiday + bank holidays
- Birthday day off

- Annual training & development budget
- Pension scheme
