EXPERIENCE

3 years in video strategy, video production or performance‑driven video roles within digital media, performance marketing or content monetization. Personal‑finance experience or familiarity strongly preferred.

YOUR ROLE

You’ll own the strategy, planning and performance of FinanceBuzz’s video content with a primary focus on syndication platforms (especially MSN) where revenue is driven by consumed seconds of video. Secondarily you’ll support video publishing and optimization for YouTube and social platforms.

This is a highly hands‑on role. You’ll be directly involved in topic selection, scripting, editing feedback, thumbnail and on‑screen graphic optimization and performance analysis. Your goal is simple but ambitious: scale video revenue significantly over time while maintaining high‑quality, trustworthy personal‑finance content.

To succeed you’ll need strong instincts for what keeps viewers watching, comfort working with performance data and the ability to manage multiple contributors and workflows at once. You should be equally comfortable zooming out to plan a content roadmap and zooming in to rewrite a script or leave frame‑by‑frame feedback.

This role is contract‑to‑hire and will play a key role in growing video from its current state ($15K/month) into a $500K annual revenue stream.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Selecting video topics that consistently maximize viewer engagement, watch time, and revenue
• Optimizing scripts to increase retention, clarity and completion rates
• Improving thumbnail and on‑screen graphic performance through testing and iteration
• Building and maintaining an efficient, scalable video workflow
• Managing freelancers effectively: assigning work, giving clear feedback and coordinating payments and budgets
• Maintaining high quality and brand consistency across all video content
• Monitoring video performance metrics and proactively identifying opportunities for improvement
• Growing video revenue from its current level toward a $500K annual run rate
• Establishing FinanceBuzz as a trusted and engaging personal‑finance video brand

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the video content strategy for syndication platforms with a primary focus on MSN
• Plan and maintain the video content calendar
• Write, edit and optimize video scripts
• Provide detailed feedback to video editors and designers
• Optimize thumbnails, titles and on‑screen graphics for engagement
• Oversee video production workflows for speed, quality and consistency
• Manage freelance contributors and coordinate with internal stakeholders on budgets and payments
• Conduct quality control on all video outputs
• Track and report on video performance metrics and revenue

COMPETENCIES

• Performance‑Driven: Obsessed with engagement, watch time and revenue outcomes
• Detail‑Oriented: Catches issues before they go live and pushes for constant improvement
• Strategic & Tactical: Thinks big‑picture while staying deeply involved in execution
• Ownership Mentality: Treats the video business as their own and takes responsibility for results
• Adaptable: Thrives in a fast‑changing environment and adjusts strategy based on performance data
• Collaborative: Works closely with editorial, design and operations partners
• Coachability: Welcomes feedback and actively seeks ways to improve systems and output

TOTAL COMPENSATION

Base salary is set according to market rates for the nearest major metro and varies based on Launch Potato’s Levels framework. Your compensation package includes a base salary, profit‑sharing bonus and competitive benefits. Launch Potato is a performance‑driven company which means once you are hired future increases will be based on company and personal performance, not annual cost‑of‑living adjustments.
