About the Role

We’re looking for a creative and highly organised YouTube Content Lead to help shape the next chapter of one of the world’s most recognisable careers-focused channels. Best known for The Career Ladder, our content is built around one mission: helping audiences understand the wide world of work through compelling stories, real people, and smart storytelling.

In this role, you’ll work directly with Max Klymenko on the full content pipeline, from early idea generation to final upload. You’ll help develop fresh formats, especially documentary-led series that explore big questions about careers and work, and then take ownership of bringing those ideas to life. That means collaborating on concepts, shaping scripts, improving story structure, and making sure every video is designed to hold attention from the first second to the last.

You’ll also be closely involved in content created during our international travel projects, supporting filming across different countries and helping turn those experiences into standout uploads. A big part of the role is packaging: crafting strong titles, working with thumbnail designers, briefing editors, and making sure each video is positioned to perform well. You’ll also manage the upload schedule, keep production on track, and use analytics to guide decisions and improve results.

This is a fully embedded team role, not a freelance or consulting position. We’re looking for someone who wants to commit to one channel, work closely with the team, and help build something ambitious.

What You’ll Be Doing

Developing new video ideas and repeatable series formats with strong audience appeal

Writing and refining scripts with clear structure, strong hooks, and high retention in mind

Working across long-form videos, interview-driven content, and Shorts

Shaping titles, thumbnails, and overall video packaging to maximise clicks

Collaborating with editors, producers, and designers to keep production moving smoothly

Overseeing the content calendar and ensuring uploads happen on time

Reviewing channel performance and using analytics to inform creative and strategic decisions

Supporting travel and documentary-style shoots around the world

What We’re Looking For

You have hands-on experience creating or managing YouTube content across multiple formats, including long-form, interviews, and Shorts. You understand what makes viewers click, stay, and come back, and you can point to specific examples where your work improved performance.

You’re strong at packaging and know how to turn a good video into a high-performing one through better titles, thumbnails, and positioning. You’ve helped grow a channel before and can speak clearly about the actions you took and the results they delivered.

You enjoy building new formats from the ground up and know how to turn a rough concept into a structured, repeatable series. You’re also comfortable writing scripts that create momentum, establish a clear narrative, and keep audiences engaged throughout.

Experience with documentary, travel, or story-led content is a strong plus, but what matters most is your ability to learn quickly and apply what works. You’re analytical, decisive, dependable, and comfortable owning your work end to end.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience working on YouTube content

Experience on a channel with 1M+ subscribers is strongly preferred

A portfolio that includes titles, thumbnails, and performance outcomes

Examples of long-form and short-form content you’ve contributed to, with a clear explanation of your role

Strong knowledge of YouTube Studio metrics such as CTR, retention, and audience behaviour

Experience giving precise feedback to editors and thumbnail designers

Comfort using tools such as Slack, Notion, Google Drive, or similar platforms

Excellent written and spoken English
