Job summary

Wild Alaskan is seeking a veteran storyteller to build a long-form video channel that conveys Alaska’s flavor and spirit. You’ll oversee production end-to-end, from finding stories to guiding shoots, edits and on-channel architecture.

Familiar editorial rhythm, pacing, and thumbnail/title strategy is essential, as is defending creative decisions with data. You’ll lead a small team and collaborate with creators to build a compelling program.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in content, documentary, or brand film. Titles vary; the reel is what matters.
• Experience reviewing creative data around organic and paid social channels.
• A body of work with at least one deeply character-driven piece you developed yourself, from lead to delivery.
• Demonstrated management experience. Not "led freelancers" — actual direct reports, reviews, growth.
• Fluency across two worlds: the outdoors and food. You’re as comfortable around commercial fishing boats, rough weather and working waterfronts as you are in kitchens, with chefs and thinking about appetite.
• Real understanding of long-form platform mechanics like YouTube. You can talk about viewership metrics and launch strategies.
• Willing and able to travel often. Alaska in bad weather and test kitchens within the same quarter. Expect roughly 30% travel, weighted heavily toward the summer.
• Full working knowledge of the production stack: research and development process, budgets, crew, camera, audio, post, color, sound, delivery. You don't have to touch all of it. You have to be un-bluffable about all of it.

Responsibilities

• Finding and developing the stories. Build a pipeline of story leads and pitch them with a clear vision for channel growth.
• Pre-interviews and research. Do the research, know a subject's history, the vocabulary, and the things they're proud of.
• Setting up production for success. Find the right crew, schedule around tides, direct in the field, guide the edit, hire out when needed.
• Building the long-form channel and distributing across short form channels. Manage series architecture, cadence, thumbnails and titles on brand.
• Managing a content team. Provide direction, unblock, defend good work, guide productions and distribution.
• Drive performance-minded creative for long-form and paid ads, focusing on hooks, pacing and brand.
• Making the food look like it tastes. Cover seafood culinary content with appetite appeal and credible personalities.
• Protecting the brand. Celebrate wild-caught Alaska seafood and stay true to the brand.
