About the Role
We are looking for a YouTube Content & Growth Strategist to take ownership of a new faceless YouTube brand being built for a global English-speaking audience.
The channel sits at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, self-awareness, manifestation, ancient wisdom and modern life.
This is not a traditional social-media-manager role.
We are looking for someone who understands how YouTube actually grows through:
- strong topic selection
- clickable titles
- high-performing thumbnails
- audience psychology
- storytelling
- retention
- competitor research
- analytics
- repeatable content systems
The ideal candidate should be able to take a channel from zero to a scalable content operation.
Key Responsibilities
1. YouTube Strategy
- Develop and continuously refine the overall YouTube content strategy.
- Identify high-potential topics based on audience demand, competitor activity and emerging trends.
- Build monthly and quarterly content roadmaps.
- Identify repeatable content formats and winning content pillars.
- Understand the difference between search-led, browse-led and recommendation-led content.
2. Competitor & Trend Research Regularly analyse relevant YouTube channels and content categories, including:
- psychology
- spirituality
- philosophy
- self-development
- manifestation
- storytelling
- faceless media channels
Track:
- breakout videos
- title patterns
- thumbnail styles
- recurring topics
- posting frequency
- audience comments
- content gaps
- emerging trends
The role should identify what is already working and, more importantly, what competitors are not doing yet. 3. Topic, Title & Thumbnail Strategy
Own the packaging of every long-form video.
For each topic, develop:
- working title options
- final title recommendation
- thumbnail concept
- emotional trigger
- curiosity angle
- target viewer
- reason the viewer should click
Titles should avoid generic formats and instead focus on solid emotional or psychological problems.
Example
Avoid
5 Lessons From the Bhagavad Gita
Prefer
The Bhagavad Gita's Cure for Overthinking
4. Script & Content Direction
- Create detailed research briefs for writers or AI-assisted scripting workflows.
- Ensure every video has a strong narrative structure.
- Improve first 30-second hooks.
- Review scripts for pacing, relevance and retention.
- Make sure content is understandable to an international audience.
- Coordinate fact-checking and source verification.
The strategist does not necessarily need to write every script personally, but should be capable of recognizing what makes a good YouTube script. 5. Production Coordination
Work closely with
- video editor
- thumbnail designer
- AI production tools
- researcher/content team
Provide clear briefs for:
- B-roll
- visual direction
- text overlays
- pacing
- transitions
- music
- emotional moments
- thumbnail design
Ensure the final video delivers on the promise made by the title and thumbnail. 6. Shorts & Instagram Repurposing
Identify the best short-form opportunities from every long-form video.
Each long-form video should ideally generate:
- 34 YouTube Shorts
- 34 Instagram Reels
- additional carousel/post opportunities where relevant
Short-form content should have its own hook and should not simply be random excerpts from long videos. 7. YouTube Analytics & Growth
Monitor performance through YouTube Studio.
Track metrics including
- impressions
- CTR
- first 30-second retention
- average view duration
- average percentage viewed
- traffic sources
- subscriber conversion
- returning viewers
- top-performing topics
- thumbnail performance
- Shorts performance
Translate analytics into clear content decisions. The role should answer questions such as:
- Why did this video outperform?
- Why did viewers leave?
- Should we make more videos on this topic?
- Was the problem the topic, thumbnail, title or content?
- Which audience segment is emerging?
Ideal Candidate We are looking for someone who:
- has hands-on YouTube strategy experience
- understands faceless YouTube channels
- understands audience psychology
- is highly comfortable with analytics
- has strong research skills
- understands storytelling and retention
- understands thumbnails and CTR
- can identify trends without blindly copying them
- can work with AI-assisted content-production tools
- has excellent written English
- can manage a production pipeline independently
- is proactive and highly organized
Preferred Experience
Preferred but not mandatory:
- 2+ years working on YouTube channels
- experience growing one or more channels
- portfolio demonstrating measurable results
- experience with faceless channels
- experience with AI-led content creation
- experience with psychology, spirituality, education or self-development content
- experience working with editors and designers
Candidates from strong digital-media, creator-economy or content-strategy backgrounds are also encouraged to apply. Tools You Should Be Comfortable With
Candidates should ideally have experience with some of the following:
- YouTube Studio
- ChatGPT / AI research tools
- Google Sheets
- Google Drive
- Canva
- Photoshop
- CapCut
- Premiere Pro
- vidIQ / TubeBuddy or similar research tools
- AI video or image-generation tools
Experience with every tool is not mandatory. The ability to understand content strategy and audience behavior is more important than knowing a particular software.
What This Role Is NOT
This is not primarily
- social-media posting
- basic video uploading
- keyword stuffing
- generic SEO
- copying trending videos
- generating AI content in bulk
- community management
We are specifically looking for someone who can think like a YouTube strategist and content operator.
