About the Client
A fast-growing US social media agency that manages YouTube and social channels for nationally syndicated radio shows is looking for a YouTube Content Manager to run the daily long-form to short-form publishing workflow across multiple shows.
The agency has grown from regional brand work to contracts with one of the largest radio networks in the US, including a top-rated country music show that reaches over 9 million weekly listeners. The team is lean and founder-led. It is adding new shows to its roster and also manages more than 40 brand accounts.
About the Role
This role turns daily live radio recordings into SEO-optimized YouTube videos and short-form social clips, following a documented process the team already uses. The hire starts on one show, adds a second right away, and grows to 3–4 shows within six months, at about 10–15 hours per week per show. The shows include country music entertainment and conservative political talk radio, so the role publishes content as produced, whatever the subject. Success means consistent daily publishing with no missed days, independent execution by week 3, and a 5–10% increase in YouTube viewership within 90 days.
