Description:

We’re searching for a YouTube Shorts Manager who instinctively knows what makes viewers tap, watch, and share. You won’t just be posting random clips — you’ll be building a strategy, creating content, and managing the full life cycle of YouTube Shorts that actually perform. 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’ll work closely with our marketing and content teams to ensure our messaging is always sharp, fun, and trend-aligned. Your workflow needs to be fast and flexible, because timing is everything in the world of Shorts. You’ll also be the one analyzing metrics, running A/B tests, and using those insights to improve each batch of content.

Basic Qualifications:

• Create strategies for integrating product mentions or sponsor messaging without interrupting viewer flow.
• Manage video assets, B-roll libraries, and past Shorts for easy reuse or re-editing when needed.
• Maintain a consistent upload schedule and ensure every video aligns with the brand’s tone and content pillars.
• Collaborate with growth marketers to align Shorts with campaigns and channel growth goals.
• Keep up with YouTube algorithm updates, especially around Shorts discoverability.

Preferred:

• Passionate about digital storytelling and growing audiences through short-form video.
• Experience creating or managing engaging short-form videos specifically for YouTube Shorts.
• Understands how to repurpose long-form YouTube content into Shorts.
• Understands cross-platform promotion of Shorts (e.g., repurposing for TikTok or Instagram Reels).
• Has tested Shorts on a personal channel or helped a friend create them.

Benefits:

• If a short hits 100K views, we cheer — if it flops, we ask why and move on.
• We care more about punchy intros than polished suits — bring your energy.
• We treat you like a co-creator, not just a scheduler.
• We love split-testing thumbnails, titles, and even punchlines — nerdy is welcome.
• Shape the voice of a channel watched by millions — one short at a time.

We’re not looking for perfection; we’re looking for punch, humor, and authenticity. The best Shorts feel effortless but are built with intent — and that’s what you’ll be making. From thumbnail choices to snappy captions and music selection, every detail counts — and you’ll be in charge of all of it. Whether you're shooting your own content or working with creators, you know how to make something fun, raw, and on-brand. If you've already built an audience, or helped content grow fast on Shorts, that’s a major plus. If you’re excited to shape our YouTube Shorts strategy and create content that stands out, we want to see what you can do! This is your chance to take ownership of a fast-growing channel and help shape its identity from the ground up.
