About The Position

In this role, you’ll help take videos from initial concept through production, brainstorming ideas, developing creative direction, writing compelling outlines and scripts, and collaborating with Producers to bring those ideas to life. You’ll also use audience insights, YouTube trends, and channel performance data to understand what’s working, identify new opportunities, and continuously strengthen our content.
