Job description

The YouTube Content Creator is a creative video storyteller and hands-on videographer and editor who owns Hello Seven's YouTube presence end to end: concept, shoot, edit, upload, optimization, and analytics. They know the platform inside out and are obsessed with how to win on it.

This person turns Rachel's talks, events, client stories, creative shoots they plan out, and our archive of footage into compelling long-form videos and Shorts that grow the channel and promote Hello Seven's programs and value. They shoot with their own equipment, edit with strong storytelling instincts, and use Claude and other AI tools to move faster and produce more without dropping quality. They are always pushing the creative bar for what we can make on the platform while staying efficient with time and output.

Reporting to the Creative Director, they pitch ideas, brainstorm, and execute quickly, and they're happy to travel for shoots at in-person events and Rachel's speaking engagements. This is a full-time, in-house role for a creative who wants to pour their creativity into video storytelling and own a channel from beginning to end.

Success in this role looks like a channel that's growing, a steady stream of high-quality video and Shorts shipped efficiently, leads joining our list and taking action on our CTAs, our archive continuously mined into fresh content, and client stories and program value told in a way that pulls people in.

YouTube Platform Ownership & Growth

• Own the YouTube channel end to end: strategy, publishing, optimization, and growth.
• Know the platform inside out and stay current on every change to formats, features, and the algorithm.

• Research competitors and creators in our niche, tracking trending formats and topics to inform what we make.
• Maintain metadata templates and a consistent upload pipeline so every video ships correctly packaged.

Video Creation & Editing (Concept to Publish)

• Edit and structure YouTube videos and Shorts from concept to final cut: story, pacing, hooks, retention, and polish.
• Edit for retention: aggressive pacing with J-cuts, B-roll, sound design, and graphics.
• Shoot original video content as the on-set videographer, using your own professional equipment.
• Handle in-house studio gear, lighting, audio leveling, and framing on every shoot.
• Build new videos from the archive: repurpose existing footage, and compile voiceovers from newer talks or videos over older footage to create fresh content.
• Own the full production pipeline: concept, script and outline, shoot, edit, thumbnail, upload, optimize, publish.
• Design high-contrast, readable, high-CTR thumbnails (Photoshop or similar), and add captions and subtitles for reach and accessibility.

Creative Direction & Storytelling

• Continuously push the creative bar for what's possible on the platform.
• Pitch creative video ideas that promote Hello Seven's programs, services, and value, and that tell client success stories.
• Develop video concepts, series, and formats that build audience and recognition over time.
• Write organic, natural-sounding scripts and outlines for content filmed with Rachel, in her voice.

AI-Powered Editing & Output

• Use Claude and other AI tools to speed up editing, ideation, scripting, and repurposing, and to increase output without sacrificing quality.
• Stay current on AI video and editing tools and continuously improve the production workflow.

Analytics & Optimization

• Use the data to decide what to make more of, and to keep improving titles, thumbnails, hooks, and formats.
• A/B test thumbnails and titles to maximize click-through rate.
• Study audience-retention graphs to find and cut low-retention segments and sharpen future edits.

• Collaborate closely with the Social Media Manager, feeding them Shorts, clips, and ideas they can repurpose across platforms, and brainstorm and execute ideas quickly with the wider team.
• Maximize the monthly content captured within programs, client stories, and Rachel's visibility as source material.
