Description:

We’re looking for a YouTube Shorts Manager who understands what makes people stop scrolling and start watching. This role is all about creating fast-paced, engaging content that stops the scroll and drives views on YouTube’s Shorts platform. From ideation to publishing, your job is to turn raw ideas (or raw footage) into high-impact, bite-sized videos that feel native to YouTube’s short-form feed. YouTube Shorts is all about timing, energy, and relevance — and you’ll need to deliver all three consistently. You should know how to format content specifically for Shorts, not just repurpose long-form videos. You'll be working with a small, agile team, so we need someone who can move fast, adapt quickly, and wear multiple hats. Speed is key — YouTube Shorts thrive on trends, and we need someone who can jump on them quickly without compromising on creativity.

Basic Qualifications:

• Keep up with YouTube algorithm updates, especially around Shorts discoverability.
• Push creative limits with bold formats and storytelling that feel native to Shorts, not just mini YouTube videos.
• Balance storytelling and punchiness—every second of a Short matters.
• Test different types of Shorts—educational, funny, visual storytelling, tips, challenges—and learn what sticks.
• Coordinate with creators, editors, and voiceover talent to assemble compelling short-form videos.

Preferred:

• Understands how to repurpose long-form YouTube content into Shorts.
• Knows how to craft effective hooks in the first 3 seconds to boost viewer retention.
• Comfortable working on a tight schedule and delivering content quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Wants to grow as a content strategist and build viral-ready video ideas from scratch.
• Can turn product features, tips, or moments into 15–60 second stories.

Benefits:

• Paid tools, AI platforms, and analytics dashboards — all at your fingertips.
• Monthly brainstorms where no idea is too dumb (those are usually the best ones).
• If a short hits 100K views, we cheer — if it flops, we ask why and move on.
• Your wins get shoutouts, bonuses, and actual recognition.
• We love split-testing thumbnails, titles, and even punchlines — nerdy is welcome.

You should be skilled at editing, know how to work with music and effects, and understand how to make the most of a 60-second video. The best Shorts feel effortless but are built with intent — and that’s what you’ll be making. If you've ever gone down a Shorts rabbit hole and thought, "I can make this better," then let’s talk. If you're passionate about creating engaging, shareable content that resonates with a broad audience, we want you on our team. Let’s build a Shorts channel that doesn’t just follow trends — it creates them. If you’ve ever binge-watched Shorts and thought, “Mine would be better,” then we want you to prove it. This is your playground — bring your vision, your hustle, and your best 60 seconds.
