Head Of Content Strategy (Short Form Video) - Viral Growth

Welcome to Viral Growth, a cutting-edge content agency that excels in crafting engaging short-form videos for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Our mission is to empower our clients by building dedicated audiences, enhancing influence, and achieving tangible business results through strategic, founder-driven content.

As our agency continues to scale rapidly, we are seeking a visionary Head of Content Strategy to spearhead our production operations. This pivotal role involves overseeing our talented team and ensuring that our content delivery is seamless, impactful, and capable of scaling alongside our ambitious growth trajectory.

Your Role

In this senior leadership position, you will take charge of the entire content production process at Viral Growth. You'll be responsible for maintaining high standards, optimizing workflows, and guaranteeing that our clients receive top-notch content consistently. Leading a team of editors, coordinators, and strategists, you will build the structural backbone that supports our expansion without compromising quality or speed.

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will have a proven history of creating high-engagement short-form videos, particularly in the founder-led or talking-head genre. Your expertise goes beyond corporate or brand video production; you understand what it takes to produce content at scale in this unique space. Your leadership experience in developing teams and implementing robust operational systems is crucial, as is your capability to think in terms of comprehensive workflows rather than isolated tasks.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor the Viral Growth content team across various client engagements.
• Streamline the production pipeline from project initiation to final delivery.
• Craft and uphold standard operating procedures, quality benchmarks, and internal tools.
• Oversee resource management, capacity planning, and team development.
• Collaborate closely with client-facing leaders to ensure expectations are met and exceeded.
• Analyze team performance and contribute to strategic company insights.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Demonstrable experience with impactful short-form video projects, supported by viewership data.
• Proven track record of managing a content or media team of 4-6 members.
• Background in the creator economy, digital media, or a content agency environment.
• Comfortable overseeing departmental operations autonomously.
• Comprehensive understanding of the nuances between founder-led content and traditional brand content, with experience in building systems for the former.

To apply, please submit a brief introduction, links to the content you've contributed to, including details of your role, and an overview of a successful team or system you've developed. Additionally, if you can provide a Loom.com video message to Simon Shaw, our founder, detailing your experience, it would be highly appreciated. Please note that applications without portfolio samples will not be considered.
