YouTube Channel Manager
The YouTube Channel Manager owns the day-to-day publishing and community engagement operation of the National Theatre’s presence on YouTube. It is a key role in the Digital Department’s evolving Distribution and Social strategy, and its understanding of global, mass, and younger audiences.
The Successful Candidate Will Have The Following
- Proven experience managing a YouTube channel's day-to-day operations - publishing, scheduling and packaging content - ideally within a media, entertainment, arts or creator-adjacent organisation
- Working knowledge of YouTube Studio and channel analytics, comfortable pulling and interpreting performance data on a regular basis
- Highly organised, with strong calendar/project-management skills - able to juggle multiple stakeholders and competing content priorities without losing sight of publishing deadlines
- Experience with community management/moderation on YouTube or similar platforms
- A genuine interest in and curiosity about the YouTube platform and content landscape - someone who watches YouTube as an audience member as much as an operator
- Reliable, detail-oriented and comfortable owning routine operational processes, while also contributing ideas to improve them over time.
If that sounds like you, this may be the role for you!
We want to understand each candidate’s skills, experience, and perspectives, so we encourage you to complete your application using your own words. While generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be a useful tool for exploring ideas or structuring responses, applications that rely heavily on AI-generated content can appear generic and make it difficult for us to assess your individual experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you choose to use AI during the application process, please use it only as a tool to help draft and structure your ideas, check your spelling and grammar, and guide your writing, while ensuring the personal experiences are entirely your own words. Responses that do not demonstrate your own voice may affect how your application is assessed and could result in it not being progressed.
