Job description

StockedUp Content Creator & Channel Manager Role

  • Company Growth and Scale:
    • We run StockedUp on YouTube, a financial and market analysis channel rapidly approaching 200,000 subscribers.
    • We are highly motivated and serious about aggressively scaling our content across multiple social media platforms.
    • We are seeking a reliable employee for long-term, daily collaboration to help drive our brand forward.
  • Core Responsibilities:
    • Short-Form Production and Distribution: Reformat our horizontal YouTube content into engaging, high-quality YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.
    • Platform Management: Post the full-length nightly videos to Spotify and other major podcasting platforms.
    • Visual Sourcing: Find and integrate relevant graphics and images into our daily content.
    • Thumbnail Creation: Design clean, eye-catching thumbnails for each nightly video on the main StockedUp YouTube channel.
    • Community Management: Take full responsibility for moderating and deleting spam comments across our daily YouTube videos, Shorts, and Reels to maintain a clean community environment and build audience loyalty.
    • Willingness to Grow: Eventually, you will be responsible for editing our nightly YouTube videos.
  • Career Growth and Progression:
    • We are looking for a foundational team member who seeks to advance within our company.
    • Phase 1: Master the daily short-form pipeline, community moderation, and thumbnail creation.
    • Phase 2: Transition into editing the main, long-form StockedUp nightly market videos.
    • Phase 3: Scale into the Head of Social Media at StockedUp, taking full operational control over our brand's digital presence and content strategy.
  • Daily Schedule and Structure:
    • You will work directly alongside Mike and Tom on a daily basis.
    • We collaborate dynamically to build out our nightly market breakdown videos.
    • Consistency is critical, as we release a brand new video five nights a week: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
    • All deliverables must be turned around in a clean, timely, and highly consistent manner.
    • Each daily video will need a short-form video to be posted at the same time or around the same time we release the nightly video (5pm ET).
  • Required Application Trial:
    • All applicants must submit sample videos to us. We will message you about this after you apply.
    • Do not include GIFs in the sample videos.
    • Use the video linked here to give us the samples from: https://youtu.be/KGrdNuKK1M8
      https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lt06eN83xApzDM0x_5GVMReVSE9g0aO7/view?usp=sharing 
    • You can access our baseline trial video here for reference: https://youtube.com/shorts/q1CRbQWEzAs?feature=share
       
    • Please note that this sample is merely a rough gauge of our content style, it is not reflective of the quality that we seek in the submissions.
    • For your trial submission, we want to see your unique creative ideas, including sharp cuts, enhanced visual pacing, and the seamless integration of both Tom and Mike's voices. 
    • Content Guidelines and Formatting:
      • Our short-form content will pull exclusively from the beginning of our daily YouTube videos until the start of the “$SPY Levels and Analysis.” Typically, this includes content within the first one to five minutes of our daily videos, but can be as late as ten minutes into the videos. 
      • The submission should be in a clean vertical formatting style.
