The ideal candidate has a passion for bringing soul-saving truth to others through video, with a heart to see souls won for Christ.

• Define and implement long-term YouTube channel strategies, including goals, launch strategies, KPIs, and benchmarks for success.
• Manage multiple GTN YouTube channels, ensuring optimized video titles, descriptions, and thumbnails for improved SEO, engagement, and audience retention.
• Create short-form vertical content (YouTube Shorts, reels, and clips) to grow and engage audiences - identifying moments with the strongest hooks and clearest messaging within long-form content and edit them into vertical clips optimized for each platform using tools such as Opus Clip, DaVinci Resolve, or similar.
• Develop a sharp editorial eye for what makes a clip work — strong hooks, a clear message, emotional and spiritual resonance, and pacing that captures attention in the first few seconds — selecting and shaping clips that stop the scroll and convert viewers into engaged followers.
• Create playlists, post reels, and curate content to drive viewer engagement and maintain a coherent channel structure.
• Optimize video descriptions to highlight key moments, suggest next steps, and guide viewers toward relevant lead magnets.
• Conduct SEO keyword research and incorporate findings into video titles, descriptions, and playlists for improved searchability.

• Work collaboratively with content creators and moderators to implement communication standards and ensure a consistent viewer experience. 
• Oversee and enforce YouTube channel policies, ensuring adherence to platform guidelines and maintaining a healthy community environment. 
• Manage and report on YouTube channel performance, including tracking key metrics and analyzing data to optimize strategies for greater channel success.
• Develop, implement, and manage the channel marketing strategy, including organic and paid tactics (social, search, and display advertising) to drive audience growth and conversions.
• Make data-driven recommendations to the content team to optimize video performance for engagement and SEO, including headline optimization for titles and attention-grabbing thumbnails.
• Collaborate with the content team to optimize static elements such as channel covers and descriptions for ongoing campaigns and long-term growth.
• Stay current with emerging video marketing trends and best practices, seeking opportunities to experiment and innovate for improved channel performance.
• Organize, plan, and prioritize multiple projects, ensuring that deadlines are met through effective communication and process improvements.
• Compile and report on performance metrics regularly, providing insights on progress toward team and organizational goals.
• Manage and enforce channel budgets in support of acquisition, engagement, and conversion objectives.
