Youtube Channel Jobs in Spring, TX (NOW HIRING)

YouTube Producer & Channel Growth Manager
Location: Houston, Texas
Employment type: Full-time, primarily in-office
Travel: Occasional travel to RockStep properties and events
The Opportunity
RockStep Capital is looking for a hands-on YouTube producer who can help turn The Shopping Center Channel into the leading source of smart, useful content about shopping centers and retail real estate.
The role combines hands-on production with channel strategy. You will find strong topics, develop scripts, produce shoots, edit long-form videos, create Shorts, design thumbnails, publish content, study performance, and use what you learn to make the next video better.
Our primary format features RockStep founder and president Andy Weiner and other subject matter experts sharing their experience on camera. Much of the footage starts with a subject at a desk using a teleprompter. Your job is to turn that footage into a video people want to click and keep watching through strong storytelling, pacing, B-roll, graphics, sound, and visual variety.
You will have room to test ideas and improve the channel. We want someone who understands that a polished video can still fail if the topic, title, thumbnail, or opening hook is weak.

Editing, Packaging, and Publishing

• Create Shorts and other clips from long-form videos, interviews, podcasts, presentations, and RockStep’s existing content library.
• Design clear, high-contrast thumbnails that create curiosity without misleading the viewer.
• Write and refine titles, descriptions, chapters, end screens, cards, playlists, and other publishing elements.
