Description:

We’re looking for a YouTube Shorts Manager who’s equal parts strategist, editor, and trend-chaser. If you can spot a viral moment before it peaks and know how to turn a 15-second idea into 1M+ views, we’re talking to you. In this role, you’ll lead the charge on all things Shorts — from planning and scripting to editing and optimizing. You should know what’s trending, how to jump on it quickly, and how to add our own twist to make it brand-relevant. You should know how to format content specifically for Shorts, not just repurpose long-form videos. Whether you’re filming in your own space or collaborating with others, you’ll need to deliver high-quality, polished content on a fast turnaround. You’ll be scripting light concepts, directing short shoots, and editing for maximum engagement — all while keeping your finger on the pulse of what’s next.

Basic Qualifications:

• Repurpose long-form content into Shorts, extracting highlight moments or key insights.
• Track performance metrics (watch time, CTR, retention) and report findings to the team weekly.
• Brainstorm content ideas tailored for Shorts: punchy, visual, and instantly engaging within the first 3 seconds.
• Maintain a consistent upload schedule and ensure every video aligns with the brand’s tone and content pillars.
• Optimize each Short for search and discovery using effective titles, thumbnails, hashtags, and descriptions.

Preferred:

• Interested in YouTube as a platform for growth, monetization, and creative impact.
• Strong understanding of the YouTube Shorts algorithm and best practices for visibility.
• Knows how to A/B test variations and track which formats perform best over time.
• Has basic motion graphics or captioning skills to enhance clarity and entertainment value.
• Analytical mindset when reviewing Shorts metrics like CTR, audience retention, and shares.

Benefits:

• We celebrate both flops and wins — failure is part of the formula.
• Real-time performance reports — no waiting weeks for feedback.
• You’ll be the bridge between creators and editors — fluent in both worlds.
• Slack is full of gifs, not stress — we keep the work fun.
• Monthly brainstorms where no idea is too dumb (those are usually the best ones).

This role is for someone who understands YouTube as both a creative platform and a powerful engine for growth. The best Shorts feel effortless but are built with intent — and that’s what you’ll be making. ” and answering with, “I already made a draft,” you’re probably a great fit. You should be comfortable working solo or collaboratively, and you must be open to feedback (and giving it, too). We’re not here to play catch-up — we’re here to lead. If you’ve spent hours studying the Shorts tab and constantly think, “I can make better content than this,” then prove it. This is your chance to take ownership of a fast-growing channel and help shape its identity from the ground up.
