About The Position

NewsBreak is building ReelBee, an open short-drama distribution platform where qualified creators and studios can self-publish, earn a transparent revenue share, and receive US audience insights. This CEO-sponsored, company-level initiative is hiring two Content Operations & Curation specialists at the Senior Specialist / Lead level, based in Mountain View in the San Francisco Bay Area and Beijing. Bilingual English and Mandarin proficiency is required.

The role operates ReelBee’s title-selection system by reviewing, tagging, and queuing titles, running tests, and using performance data to guide decisions. The specialist also supports title launches and distribution, communicates performance to content partners, supports supplier evaluation, and tracks industry trends.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience in content operations, editorial, review, or title selection at a short-drama, web-fiction, short-video, or content platform.
• Fluent written and spoken English and Mandarin; able to review English-language series and subtitles and communicate with US partners.
• Strong Excel or Sheets skills and the ability to interpret completion curves, episode drop-offs, and payment conversion data and turn findings into operating actions.
• Ability to maintain judgment quality and pace while reviewing dozens of titles per week.
• Proficiency with AI tools, including LLM summarization and tagging, AI subtitles, and AI voice detection.

Nice To Haves

• Short-drama platform experience, domestic or overseas.
• Familiarity with top titles on ReelShort, DramaBox, and similar apps, and ability to assess title hooks, pacing, and paywall design.
• Experience with BI dashboards or SQL.
• Short-drama acquisition, rights, or distribution experience.
• TikTok or YouTube short-drama channel operations experience.
• AI short-drama production or quality-control experience.

Responsibilities

• Review and tag 40–60 new titles each week; verify AI-extracted tags such as genre, character archetype, hook, paywall point, and source tier, and assess quality and compliance, including common AI-drama issues such as lip-sync, hands, and scene consistency.
• Manage the weekly test queue by combining selection-system scores with judgment, tracking 72-hour scorecards for CTR, CPI, first-three-episode completion, unlock rate, and first-purchase rate, and recommending titles for scaling.
• Run post-launch operations for winning titles, including recommendation slots, push notifications, in-app distribution, and creative direction; review performance and build a playbook of effective approaches for users.
• Send weekly title-level and creative-level performance reports to content partners, collect their feedback, and help steer supply direction.
• Support supply business development with sample evaluation and trial-batch reviews for new suppliers, and maintain catalog metadata quality.
• Track industry charts and TikTok short-drama trends; publish a weekly genre and hit-title brief, and calibrate selections against US charts and company performance data.

Benefits

• The position may be eligible for a discretionary bonus and options, depending on the position.
