What is a YouTube contractor?

YouTube contractors are individuals or agencies hired on a temporary or project basis to provide specific services for YouTube channels or the YouTube platform. Their work can include content creation, video editing, channel management, moderation, graphic design, marketing, or technical support. Unlike full-time employees, contractors work independently and are typically responsible for their own taxes and benefits. They may work directly for YouTube or for creators and brands seeking to grow or manage their presence on the platform. This flexible arrangement allows both YouTube and its users to access specialized skills as needed.

What are some typical challenges faced by YouTube contractors when managing multiple clients or channels?

YouTube Contractors often juggle several clients or channels simultaneously, which can present challenges in balancing content calendars, meeting diverse branding guidelines, and adapting to different audience expectations. Effective time management and clear communication with clients are crucial to ensure deadlines are met and content quality remains high. Additionally, staying updated on YouTube’s ever-changing algorithms and best practices is essential for optimizing video performance across various projects.

Director of Video Content & Growth (Contractor)

Chamber of Progress

Remote

Part-time

Re-posted 16 days ago

Job description

Chamber of Progress, a center-left tech industry association devoted to technology's progressive future, is seeking a Director of Video Content & Growth to help us build one of the most influential video operations in public policy.
This is not a traditional video production role. We're looking for someone who understands how ideas spread online and who can transform public policy into compelling videos that people actually watch, share, and remember. Candidates should have experience creating video content for political campaigns, advocacy organizations, think tanks, nonprofits, public affairs firms, news organizations, or mission-driven organizations where the goal was to persuade audiences or shape public debate.
The ideal candidate is equal parts content strategist, storyteller, scriptwriter, video producer, and advocacy communicator. They know how to grow audiences on YouTube, Instagram, and X; turn subject matter experts into compelling on-camera communicators; and create persuasive video content that influences public opinion and policymakers. Ideal candidates will have previous political campaign and/or storytelling experience.
This part-time contractor role is 20 hours per week and can be performed remotely within the continental United States, with a preference for candidates located in the Eastern or Central time zones. The role is ideal for an experienced digital storyteller, advocacy communicator, or political content strategist who wants a flexible schedule while helping shape the public conversation around technology and innovation.
Responsibilities
  • Own Chamber of Progress' video strategy across YouTube, Instagram, X, podcasts, and emerging platforms.
  • Develop and execute a long-term strategy to make Chamber of Progress the leading tech trade association in public policy video content.
  • Grow subscribers, watch time, engagement, and reach across all video channels.
  • Translate policy reports, economic analyses, legislative campaigns, polling, and breaking news into compelling visual stories that are understandable, memorable, and highly shareable.
  • Create persuasive advocacy videos that influence policymakers, journalists, opinion leaders, and the broader public.
  • Build recurring video franchises and original series that establish Chamber of Progress as a leading voice on technology policy.
  • Write scripts, develop story concepts, and rapidly produce timely videos responding to legislative developments and news events.
  • Produce and edit podcast episodes and create engaging clips from podcasts, television interviews, speeches, testimony, conferences, and organizational events.
  • Coach the organization's policy experts to become engaging on-camera communicators and storytellers.
  • Design graphics, animations, charts, captions, and other visual elements that make complex policy issues easy to understand.
  • Package content appropriately for each platform, including YouTube, Instagram Reels, X, LinkedIn, and other emerging formats.
  • Track analytics and continually refine content strategy based on audience behavior, engagement, and platform trends.
  • Coordinate with outside vendors or freelancers when specialized production or animation is needed.
  • Work closely with the Senior Creative Director and Senior Director of Communications to ensure video content advances Chamber of Progress' communications and advocacy goals.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
  • Minimum of 6 years of post-college experience in digital media, advocacy, political communications, journalism, campaigns, public affairs, content strategy, or a related field.
  • Experience creating video content for political campaigns, advocacy organizations, think tanks, nonprofits, public affairs firms, news organizations, or mission-driven organizations where the goal was to persuade audiences or shape public debate - not simply produce polished videos.
  • Demonstrated success building audiences and engagement through video content.
  • Exceptional storytelling instincts and the ability to turn complex policy issues into compelling visual narratives.
  • Strong scriptwriting skills for short-form and long-form video.
  • Experience creating persuasive, issue-oriented, advocacy, political, nonprofit, or mission-driven video content.
  • Strong understanding of YouTube, Instagram, X, and other social platforms, including how content is packaged, distributed, and optimized for each.
  • Excellent video editing skills and fluency with modern production tools.
  • Experience creating graphics, motion graphics, and visual explainers that strengthen storytelling.
  • Comfortable coaching subject matter experts to become more effective on-camera communicators.
  • Strong news judgment and the ability to move quickly in response to breaking events.
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
  • Bias toward action, creativity, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Premiere, After Effects, Descript, Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar platforms is preferred.
  • Washington, DC. location is preferred

Schedule
  • Part-time contractor (20 hours per week).
  • Must attend the Chamber of Progress staff meeting at 10:00 a.m. ET Monday through Thursday.
  • Must be available to work a minimum of four hours daily Monday through Thursday and three hours on Friday.

Compensation
  • Part-time contractor role (20 hours/week).
  • Monthly contract rate of $3,700-$5,800, commensurate with experience.
  • Remote within the continental United States.
  • This is a contractor position and does not include employee benefits.
