Job description

We're looking for a confident and engaging YouTube Host to create educational and entertaining content focused on AI-powered marketing and advertising tools. You'll be the face of the channel, presenting software demos, tutorials, tool comparisons, and practical workflows that help viewers leverage AI for their paid advertising and content creation.

Because our audience is made up of people actively running paid ads, this role requires someone who has genuinely done it themselves — a host who can speak to the realities of paid media, not just read a script. You'll bring real, hands-on experience running ad campaigns to every video, so the content lands with credibility for media buyers and advertisers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Host and present YouTube videos focused on AI advertising and marketing tools.


• Demonstrate AI-powered ad creation platforms for both video and static creatives.


• Create and explain screen-recorded tutorials and walkthroughs (long-form talking-head and step-by-step screen recordings).


• Compare competing tools and highlight their strengths, weaknesses, and use cases.


• Showcase how AI tools can be integrated into real paid advertising and content creation workflows.


• Speak from experience about running and optimizing paid ad campaigns using these tools.


• Test and evaluate new AI products as the industry rapidly evolves.


• Collaborate with the content team on video topics, scripts, and content improvements.

Requirements (must-have):

• Hands-on experience running or managing paid ad campaigns — this is a mandatory requirement, not a nice-to-have. At minimum, direct experience with Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram). Experience with TikTok Ads is a strong plus, and Google Ads is also welcome.


• Knows what makes a paid campaign successful — which metrics to watch and how to optimize performance — and uses AI as a tool to work faster and more productively.


• Genuine passion for AI tools and a real interest in using AI to run and improve paid ad campaigns — these two go hand in hand with the product.


• Strong and confident on-camera presence with excellent communication skills.


• Ability to explain technical concepts in a simple, engaging, and easy-to-understand manner.


• Comfortable recording screens, demonstrating software, and presenting tutorials.


• Willingness to continuously learn and experiment with new AI platforms.


• Reliable internet connection and access to a suitable recording setup.

Ideal Candidate:

You've actually run paid ads yourself, you're naturally curious about AI, and you enjoy testing new software. You can turn complicated features into practical insights that viewers can immediately apply to their own campaigns. You're comfortable being on camera and can keep audiences engaged while educating them on the latest tools and trends in AI-powered advertising.
