For over 15 years, the Indiahikes YouTube channel has been helping people understand trekking better. What began as a way to document trails and share our experiences has grown into one of India's most-followed channels for credible trekking information and advice.
We are looking for someone who can build on this legacy. The opportunity is not just to grow a YouTube channel. It is to shape how India discovers, understands and experiences trekking.
What this role entails
You will take ownership of the growth and development of the Indiahikes YouTube channel. You will work closely with our content and video teams to identify what we should be making, plan the video calendar, coordinate shoots, improve video performance and ensure our content reaches the right audiences.
Key Responsibilities
1. YouTube strategy and growth
- Build on the existing channel’s content library to develop a growth plan. Identify new content opportunities, audience interests and formats that can help us reach more people.
- Study YouTube analytics, including views, click-through rates, audience retention and subscriber growth. Use these insights to continuously improve performance.
2. Shoot planning and coordination
- Plan the video calendar and coordinate shoots with hosts, Trek Leaders, content teams and production teams. Ensure shoots are properly briefed and scheduled.
- Take ownership of the video pipeline, from planning and production coordination to ensuring videos are ready for publishing on time.
3. Video packaging and distribution
- Work on video titles, thumbnails, descriptions and other elements that help improve discoverability, without compromising the credibility and usefulness of our content.
- Develop a distribution plan for every video. Explore YouTube Shorts, Instagram, emailers and other digital channels to reach audiences beyond our existing subscribers.
Who we are looking for
- Someone with 2–4 years of experience managing or growing YouTube channels.
- Strong understanding of YouTube Studio, analytics, audience retention and content discovery.
- Good understanding of video storytelling, titles, thumbnails and what makes people watch.
- Excellent planning and coordination skills. You must be able to manage multiple shoots and video releases without missing deadlines.
- Someone who takes ownership of outcomes rather than just completing assigned tasks.
- An interest in trekking, travel, the outdoors and storytelling is a strong advantage.
Location: Bengaluru, Full-Time
Experience: 2–4 years
