About the Role
We're looking for someone who lives and breathes digital video, has the instincts of a seasoned journalist, and knows exactly why people click, watch, and stay. This is a leadership role for someone who has already scaled a news YouTube channel and is hungry to build the next big thing in business news video.
What You'll Own
- Lead the YouTube video strategy end to end programming, formats, thumbnails, publishing, analytics and growth.
- Build and mentor a sharp, fast-moving video team, including producers, editors, and script-writing talent.
- Drive daily and long-form video output with impeccable news judgement. You should know what deserves a 60-second explainer and what deserves a 12-minute deep-dive.
- Oversee production values across shoots and edits crisp writing, tight cuts, superior sound, and visuals that don't look like they were made on a Monday morning.
- Work closely with editorial leadership to shape coverage, especially breaking news, markets, economy, corporate developments and everything in the business-news universe.
- Use analytics obsessively to grow watch time, retention, CTR and subscribers.
- Develop new video IPs, franchises and show formats that fit our brand and scale our reach.
- Represent the brand on camera when needed. If you can anchor, host, or explain complex business stories in clean, confident English, that's a serious bonus.
What You Must Bring
- Proven experience growing a news YouTube channel. Show us numbers, not vibes.
- Excellent command of English crisp writing, sharp scripting, strong editorial voice.
- Outstanding news sense, with a particular preference for business, markets, economy and finance.
- Strong production chops across scripting, shoots, lighting, sound, editing workflows and packaging.
- Ability to run a newsroom-style team at digital speeds.
- Comfort working closely with editorial, product, design and audience teams.
- A calm head during breaking news and a mischievous curiosity during slow news days.
Nice to Have
- On-camera or anchoring experience
- Experience launching video IPs or building digital-first franchises
