The specialist is the hands-on engine of ReelBee’s title-selection system, reviewing, tagging, and queuing titles, running tests, and using performance data to guide decisions.

The listed US base salary range is $90,000–$130,000 per year. Depending on the position, the role may also be eligible for a discretionary bonus and options.

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.
• Strong familiarity with short-drama titles on ReelShort, DramaBox, and similar apps, and ability to assess title hooks, pacing, and paywall design.
• Ability to interpret completion curves, episode drop-offs, and payment conversion data and translate findings into operational actions.
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• Ability to maintain judgment quality and work at a pace of dozens of titles per week.
• Fluent written and spoken English and Mandarin; able to review English-language series and subtitles and communicate with US partners.

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 issues such as lip-sync, hands, and scene consistency.
• Manage the weekly test queue by combining selection-system scores with personal 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 successful titles, including recommendation slots, push notifications, in-app distribution, and creative direction; review performance and develop a playbook of effective approaches.
