- Proven success developing YouTube-first or video-led content, including series, channels, or recurring formats that have built and retained audiences
- Experience operating in environments where editorial, entertainment, and brand intersect
- Strong understanding of platform mechanics, especially video platforms (YouTube, TikTok), and how content succeeds within them
- Experience collaborating with creators, influencers, and talent—not just directing campaigns, but co-creating content
- Ability to translate insights, data, and strategy into compelling creative work that people actively engage with
- Experience leading both internal teams and external partners (agencies, production companies, creators)
