About Peak Financial Planning

Peak Financial Planning is a fee-only fiduciary financial planning firm specializing in helping pre-retirees and retirees make smarter decisions about retirement income, taxes, Social Security, investments, and long-term spending.

YouTube is the media engine behind Peak Financial Planning. Led by founder and CEO Eric Amzalag, CFP, RICP, our educational content reaches hundreds of thousands of viewers and generates millions of dollars of investment into the company each month.

Our mission is to become the most trusted retirement-planning media brand in the country.

We produce high-performance, long-form educational content designed to help people make better retirement decisions, deepen trust in the Peak brand, and generate measurable business impact throughout the firm.

Our content is not vanity media. It is the primary way prospective clients discover Peak, learn how we think, and decide whether our planning process is right for them.

We operate through structured workflows, disciplined production systems, clear performance metrics, and an aggressive commitment to innovationespecially through AI-native research, production, and optimization systems.

We are building a repeatable content machine that compounds: stronger ideas, better packaging, higher-quality videos, faster iteration, more qualified prospects, and deeper brand equity over time.

If you're joining Peak Financial Planning, you're not here to simply manage a YouTube channel. You're here to help build the leading retirement-planning media brand in the country.

Role

The YouTube Manager exists to turn Peak Financial Planning's business priorities, audience insights, and financial-planning expertise into long-form videos that perform at their ceiling and generate measurable business outcomes.

This is a true channel-owner seat for the Eric at Peak Financial Planning YouTube channel. You will have meaningful input upstream on ideas, angles, series concepts, livestreams, clip channel and formats, informed by performance data and a deep understanding of what retirement-focused viewers respond to.

You will help shape what gets made and how it gets recorded so that YouTube performance is built in from the startnot bolted on at the end.

This is not a channel babysitter or packaging-only position. You will own titles, thumbnails, metadata, upload operations, livestream operations, analytics, and back-catalogue optimization. You will be accountable for subscriber growth, booked consultations, and YouTube's contribution to Peak's client-acquisition engine.

Views and click-through rate are inputs, not the ultimate goal. The goal is to attract the right viewers, build trust at scale, and convert attention into qualified prospective clients.

The role is AI-forward by default. Analytics, reporting, A/B-test tracking, competitive research, and optimization workflows should increasingly run through AI agents and automationnot manual spreadsheets and gut instinct.

This role reports directly to the Chief Growth Officer, Chris, and works closely with Eric, the video editor, the thumbnail designer, to shape brand identity, content production, and distribution.

Ensure no video goes live without passing Peak's complete editorial, technical, brand, and compliance checklist.
Build and operate a continuous A/B-testing framework for thumbnails and titles across new and catalogue videos, keeping packaging decisions defensible against channel benchmarks and documented test results.
Own YouTube analytics and build AI-agent-powered workflows for data compilation, anomaly detection, competitive research, reporting, and performance diagnosis.
Translate performance insights into specific decisions affecting video ideas, hooks, titles, thumbnails, scripting, production, and distribution.
Systematically audit and re-optimize Peak's back catalogue, including thumbnails, titles, descriptions, calls to action, links, and metadata, and create a documented prioritization framework.
Track the compounding impression, view, subscriber, consultation, and revenue impact generated by back-catalogue optimization.
Monitor the retirement, investing, tax-planning, and personal-finance content landscape to identify rising viewer demand, competitive gaps, and differentiated opportunities for Peak.
Evaluate and roll out new YouTube features using a clear test-and-measure process.
Maintain a reliable connection between channel performance and downstream business outcomes, including website traffic, consultation-funnel activity, qualified booked calls, and new-client acquisition.
Work within Peak's compliance requirements as an SEC-registered investment adviser, ensuring content, descriptions, claims, disclosures, and publishing workflows meet the firm's standards.

Requirements

Deep command of YouTube's packaging ecosystem, including thumbnails, titles, click-through-rate mechanics, retention patterns, traffic sources, recommendation behavior, and catalogue optimization.
