You will sit at the intersection of creative direction, data, and growth strategy, shaping content that reaches and impacts millions. Working alongside a talented team of creatives, you'll be responsible for defining what success looks like on YouTube.

  • Running A/B tests and experimentation frameworks to continuously improve results
  • Identifying trends, opportunities, and gaps in the market to drive innovation
  • Collaborating closely with a team of editors, creatives, and marketers
  • Supporting broader brand and content strategy across platforms

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience (ideally 3/5+ years) scaling YouTube specifically for a creator, media brand, or digital business
  • Deep expertise in YouTube analytics, algorithm behaviour, and monetisation strategy
  • Strong track record of growing and sustaining large audiences
  • Ability to translate data into clear, actionable content strategies
  • Highly autonomous with a founder mindset and strong ownership mentality
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment
  • Passion for digital content, storytelling, and the creator economy

Why This Role?

  • Work directly with a high-profile Founder in a rapidly scaling business
  • Take full ownership of a core growth channel with global reach
  • Join a collaborative, creative team within a high-performing environment
  • Be part of a mission-led brand making a real impact
  • Competitive compensation and strong benefits package via a global agency structure
