This is for someone young, sharp, and obsessed with the YouTube entrepreneurial content space: strong creative direction, can write without AI, can hold a camera, and organised enough to run a production machine. If you miss deadlines or procrastinate, skip this.
Location: Warwickshire, in person. Open to candidates in Manchester and the surrounding area who are willing to relocate.
Type: Part-time (2–3 days/week) → Full-time as you level up
Starting pay: £2,500/month part-time, with a defined career ladder to £6-8k+/month (elaborated below)
What you'll actually be doing early on
This is a hands-on fulfilment role from day one, split across my personal brand and our agency clients. Expect to be:
- Serving existing content-agency YouTube clients - you're in the work, not adjacent to it
- Leaving edit reviews on client videos - clear, specific feedback that editors can act on
- Writing scripts for clients (and for my content)
- Creating and directing YouTube thumbnails and packaging
- Shipping my backlog - getting recorded long-forms edited, packaged, and published on cadence
- Managing freelance editors and writers
The mission
Build the organic content machine around me until my entire job is to show up, perform on camera, and say yes or no.
Everything else - ideation, scripting, packaging, production, editors, publishing, analytics - progressively becomes yours. The money increases as I become less necessary to my own content operation.
You're not joining someone "starting a YouTube channel." You're stepping into a working operation.
- I run AttentionGrow, the strategy layer behind YouTube channels with 4.5B+ organic long-form views across clients
- Clients and collaborations include Chris Bumstead, PlayStation, WillNE, Kwebbelkop (16M subs), The Spiffing Brit, Dexerto - and I've consulted on YouTube strategy for the Dalai Lama's team
- There are long-form videos waiting to ship right now, plus a newsletter, an X.com pipeline, and freelance editors/writers you'll inherit and manage
- The bottleneck is not ideas, footage, clients, or money. It's that no one owns the machine.
Why now
The operation has outgrown me. There's more footage, more ideas, and more distribution opportunity than I can personally manage, and every week I spend project-managing is a week the best content doesn't ship.
I'm NOT building a 12-person content department. I'm hiring one person who eventually runs it.
The career ladder
Founding Producer
- Coordinates and provides feedback to freelancers, speaks with clients, packages YouTube content.
- £2–2.5k/mo (PT)
Content Operator
- Owns the content machine, end to end
- £3–4k/mo
Head of Content
- Ideation → production → distribution → KPIs
- £5–6k/mo
Media Lead
- Builds the team, owns attributable growth
- £6–8k+/mo
Formal review at 3 months. You move up by making me unnecessary.
What you'll learn (the part that's worth more than the salary)
You'll work directly with me on ideation, hooks, scripting, packaging, production, analytics, and monetisation - the same playbook used with billion-dollar brands and 16M-subscriber channels. You'll see the real numbers behind which videos create meaningful leads and revenue.
Fast feedback, constantly. At first we decide together. The goal is that you internalise my taste fast enough that eventually you're making most calls without me. For an ambitious 20-something in the content space, getting paid to learn how a creator-led business actually turns attention into revenue is the real compensation.
Why in-person
This role is deliberately in-person because you'll be directing shoots, working beside me, and learning through repetition. If you're looking for a remote editing job, this isn't it.
Warwickshire-based, or willing to be. Based in Manchester or the surrounding area? Apply anyway - if you're the right person, we'll make the relocation work.
How to apply (2 minutes, seriously)
Just send:
- One link to the thing you've made that you're proudest of (a video, an edit, an account you grew - anything)
- Two or three sentences on why you want this role specifically
That's it.
Pay: £28,000.00-£45,000.00 per year
