2. Video editing and clipping – Edit key clips from episodes using Adobe Premiere and AI tools like Opus, ensuring they match the podcast's tone and style.
3. YouTube growth & optimisation – Drive YouTube channel growth through content optimization, compelling titles and thumbnails, and platform features.
4. AI content creation and curation – Plan and produce high-quality visual content with AI tools, maintaining consistent branding.
5. Content scheduling and delivery – Manage content uploads and scheduling to align with marketing plans and partner needs.
6. Copywriting and tone of voice – Use AI to craft inspiring and engaging copy, ensuring consistent tone reflecting each podcast's values.
7. Community management – Engage with audiences by monitoring comments and messages to foster a positive community.
8. Performance tracking and reporting – Use analytics tools to monitor metrics, generate reports, and refine strategies accordingly.

Skills & Experience

• Proven success in managing and growing social media and YouTube channels, with measurable increases in views, engagement, and subscribers.
• Deep knowledge of social and YouTube algorithms, trends, and key metrics, with strong analytical skills.
• Video editing proficiency with Adobe Premiere and AI tools like Opus, plus familiarity with scheduling and analytics platforms such as YouTube Studio.
• Experience creating visually engaging content, including thumbnails and carousels.
• Ability to work independently, solve problems, and prioritize in a fast-paced environment across multiple shows.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills, with attention to detail and a test-and-learn approach.
• Adaptability to shifting deadlines and evolving content priorities.
