Why are we hiring?

I, Oliver, the CEO have been handling channel strategy until now. However, I think someone else would do a better job (as seen by the results!). Therefore I am wanting to hand this role over to someone else who can nail it.

With that in mind, the criteria for the role is as follows:

REQUIREMENTS:

• A genuine interest in being a YouTuber yourself
• A deep understanding of what makes good YouTube content. You can “taste test” the result of the content well

• An interest in history

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead the vision and content strategy of the channel, toward fast growth
• Refine title and thumbnails before creating the video, to ensure it is very click-enticing (essential responsibility)
• Manage the YouTube channel
• Lead the team toward produced videos of high quality, that viewers love
• Be a good motivator of people, and leader of a team
• Read YouTube analytics, and tweak the content strategy according to results

We plan to grow via YouTube Shorts, and then pivot into longer-form content once this has been successfully done. Longer-form content will allow for deeper education, and, importantly – to earn well from the content.

• Job Security: The finances of this OtherWorldly channel are 100% funded by Now Creatives, our agency. We have funds to pay all expenses for this channel, for 6 months, without the channel earning anything. Allowing us the freedom to experiment and grow without concern for earning
