Role Description We're looking for an experienced content strategist to work with us on building out our social media and YouTube strategy.

This is an independent contractor role. Ideally, you have 3 to 4 years of professional experience in content strategy, digital media, audience development, or a related field, with a strong understanding of how to develop content and grow an audience across YouTube and social platforms.

We are looking for someone who really understands content, not just social media marketing.

We have a lot of material to work with, and we are interested in figuring out how to turn Gabe’s work, ideas, films, and perspective into a stronger and more consistent audience online.

The right person would help us think through what we should actually be making, how to package it, where and when to release it, and how to build a YouTube channel and social presence that people genuinely want to follow.

We would love to work with someone who is comfortable developing a content strategy from the ground up, identifying strong creative opportunities, and turning larger ideas or existing material into content that works across different platforms.

You should have experience with YouTube strategy and audience growth, content development, short form and long form video, content packaging, titles and thumbnails, analytics and performance data, social media trends, and developing content formats that can be refined and built over time.

You should also be comfortable working directly with creative people and filmmakers. Strong editorial judgment and a good creative eye are important. We want someone who can look at a body of work and recognize the stories, ideas, moments, and conversations that could become compelling content!

Some of the areas we would like help with include:

Developing a YouTube strategy and growing the channel

Figuring out what kinds of content we should be creating

Finding opportunities within existing footage, films, interviews, and other material

Developing recurring content ideas and formats

Figuring out how to adapt content across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms

Improving how content is packaged and presented

Understanding YouTube analytics, audience retention, engagement, and other performance metrics

Using data and audience response to inform creative decisions

Keeping up with changes in social platforms and understanding what is actually working

Building a consistent content calendar and release strategy

Ultimately building a much stronger audience around Gabe and the company

We are looking forward to connecting with a few experienced people who have done this kind of work and exploring whether there could be a good fit!

If you are interested, please send a short note about yourself, examples of channels or projects you have helped grow, relevant audience growth results, and a little about how you approach this kind of work.
