About the Role:
We’re working with a high-end personal branding agency that partners with founders, entrepreneurs, senior leaders and high-profile individuals to build powerful personal brands, businesses and digital platforms.
They’re looking for a Mid-Level YouTube Strategist to join the team and take ownership of YouTube strategy across a portfolio of premium clients.
This is a role for someone who understands that YouTube is much more than simply uploading videos. You’ll be responsible for developing the strategy behind the channel — understanding the client, their audience, personal brand and wider business objectives to create content that drives visibility, engagement and long-term growth.
You’ll work closely with creative, production and client teams, helping shape everything from content strategy and formats through to titles, thumbnails, audience development and performance analysis.
The client base will include founders and business leaders, so the ability to translate complex ideas, expertise and business stories into compelling, accessible content will be particularly important. There will also be an element of working from a corporate and leadership-focused perspective, ensuring personal brand content aligns with wider business and commercial objectives.
