We are looking for a Content Operations Lead / Managing Producer to build and run our content production operation. You will coordinate a distributed network of freelance researchers, writers, video editors, motion designers, thumbnail designers, voice talent and videographers.

What you’ll own

• Build, test and manage a reliable freelancer network, primarily across India and Pakistan
• Manage research, scripting, editing, motion graphics, thumbnails, voice-over and final QA
• Run multiple video productions simultaneously while controlling budgets and timelines
• Review freelancer work before founder review and maintain consistent production quality
• Manage the content calendar and publishing workflow
• Track YouTube metrics including CTR, audience retention, average view duration, views, subscriber growth and revenue
• Develop SOPs and repeatable production processes as the company scales
• Work with internally developed AI tools for research, content intelligence, production and analytics

What we’re looking for

• 4+ years in digital media, video production, YouTube, content operations or a related field
• Experience managing video projects from idea through publication
• Experience sourcing and managing freelance editors, writers, designers or production partners
• Strong understanding of YouTube storytelling, hooks, pacing, thumbnails and retention
• Strong project management, budgeting and communication skills
• Ability to operate independently in a remote startup environment
• Experience with documentary, explainer, technology, business, science or educational content is a strong advantage

How we’ll work The founder will define the company strategy, approve major topics, build the AI/technology layer and manage major commercial decisions.

You will own day-to-day content execution. Most production resources will be freelancers hired project-by-project rather than employees. We expect to begin with approximately 2–3 premium long-form videos per month and scale based on channel performance.

Compensation Remote contractor role with a monthly retainer plus performance incentives. Initial engagement will be approximately 3 months, with the intention of becoming a long-term leadership role if the fit is strong.

When applying, please include Links to 2–3 YouTube channels/videos you directly helped produce or manage What exactly you were responsible for An example of managing freelancers or external production resources The largest number of video projects you managed simultaneously Your location and availability
