Manage a small team of producer/editors that, along with you, make up the show team.
Take an analytical approach to show performance, using data to understand which parts of the show are working and which aren’t.

Experience producing, editing, or shooting long-form videos.
A deep curiosity about YouTube as a platform.
A world-class story sense and ability to assess pitches.
An ability to clearly communicate and give detailed, specific feedback.

A deep understanding of the principles of good journalism.

If you are passionate about creating videos that inform, engage, and grow audiences, and you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, we would like to hear from you. Please submit your resume, cover letter, and a portfolio of your work.
