About The Role

We are looking for someone who understands how YouTube works, knows what makes people click and keep watching, and can use audience behavior and performance data to continuously improve content.

Write scripts and structure videos to maximize audience retention
Record product walkthroughs, tutorials, interviews, creator stories, and behind-the-scenes content
Edit long-form YouTube videos and repurpose them into Shorts and social media clips
Collaborate with filmmakers and Flick users to showcase real creative workflows and projects
Publish and optimize videos, including titles, descriptions, chapters, tags, and thumbnails
Track click-through rate, watch time, retention, subscriber growth, and conversions, using performance data to improve future content

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience creating content specifically for YouTube
Strong understanding of YouTube titles, thumbnails, hooks, audience retention, and channel growth
Ability to independently take a video from concept to final upload
Strong video editing and visual storytelling skills
Comfortable appearing on camera or directing on-camera talent
Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex products clearly and engagingly
Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving startup environment
Genuine interest in AI, filmmaking, storytelling, and creative technology
Willingness to test ideas, analyze performance, and adjust direction when needed

Familiarity with AI image and video generation tools
Experience interviewing creators or producing documentary-style content

An existing YouTube channel or portfolio demonstrating your work

What Success Looks Like

Flick consistently publishes high-quality YouTube videos
Videos attract filmmakers and serious creative users, who care about AI filmmaking, creator tools, video production, storytelling, or the future of film, not only general AI audiences
Click-through rate, watch time, retention, and returning viewers improve over time
Viewers clearly understand what Flick does and how it fits into their creative workflow
You develop repeatable content formats that can grow into recognizable Flick series
