What you'll do
- Develop a content plan for each client and derive a clear production plan for the cutters.
- Find topics, hooks and titles for all main YouTube videos and write the scripts yourself.
- Accompany shoots, understand camera, light and sound, and operate the camera when needed.
- Approve every video before it goes to the client and send back what is not good enough.
- Lead the cutter team, give regular concrete feedback and measurably improve every editor.
- Ensure every longform video yields usable clips and ad creatives.
- Run weekly calls with clients, explain what is produced and why, and defend your decisions.
What we're looking for
- Proven experience as a content creator, video producer or head of content, ideally focused on YouTube longform, shortform and video ads.
- A portfolio of videos you were responsible for, ideally with measurable results such as views, click rate and audience retention.
- Solid understanding of what makes a video viral: hook, title, thumbnail, storytelling and retention.
- Strong instinct for ideas and scripts; you write YouTube scripts yourself that hold viewers to the end.
- High-level editing: longform, shortform and cinematic; ideally you are a creator yourself.
- Confident handling of camera, light and sound; you can shoot yourself.
- Understanding of video ads and their role in the funnel and customer journey.
- Confident handling of relevant metrics such as CTR, audience retention, views and CPL.
- Leadership experience: you manage several cutters at once, plan production and give feedback that improves your team.
- Confident client communication: you run weeklies and defend your content decisions to demanding entrepreneurs.
- High standards: no video leaves your team that you do not stand behind yourself.
- Own initiative: you do not wait for instructions but contribute your own ideas and trends.
- German at native level.
Nice to have
- Experience with podcast and event shoots as well as deep technical understanding (camera setups, equipment, workflows).
