We're looking for the best YouTube minds in the world. If you know why our videos work and why some don't, we want to hear from you.

This isn't a traditional job application. We don't care about your resume. We care about how you think about YouTube, and specifically how you think about our channel. Read the instructions below and show us.

YouTube Creative Strategist

We make the most watched videos on the internet. And we're obsessed with getting better. That means we need people around us who understand the craft at a deep level: what makes a format retain viewers, what makes a title drive clicks, what makes a challenge feel fair and a climax feel earned.

 

This role sits at the intersection of creative development and channel strategy. You'll work directly on video concepts, format design, and performance analysis. You'll have real opinions and you'll be expected to defend them. You'll tell us what we should make, what we should stop making, and why.

 

We don't care how many years of experience you have. We don't care where you went to school. We care that you've watched this channel like someone who wants to make it, not just consume it, and that you can back it up when you walk in the room.

What you'll do

You'll shape what gets made and how good it is.

Depending on where you land in the team, that might mean developing video concepts from title and thumbnail all the way through to challenge structure and payoff. It might mean owning performance review across a set of channels: analyzing what worked, what didn't, and making concrete calls about what changes. It might mean both.

 

What it always means: having a strong, informed point of view on YouTube as a craft, and being willing to say it out loud.

What we're looking for

Deep fluency with how this channel works.

Not just that you've watched a lot of MrBeast. That you've watched like someone who wants to understand why it works. You should be able to name specific videos, specific moments, and tell us what was working mechanically: the retention hook, the stakes architecture, the escalation structure.

 

You should also be able to tell us where we've fallen short. That's not a trick question. It's the most important one.

 

Strong analytical instincts matter too. You understand YouTube's performance metrics: view duration, CTR, retention curves, and you can connect those signals back to specific creative decisions. Data informs your taste. It doesn't replace it.

How to apply

Record three videos. Send us the links.

No resume required. No cover letter. Record yourself answering the three questions below, upload the videos wherever you want (YouTube unlisted is fine, Google Drive, Dropbox, anywhere we can click a link and watch), then submit the links using the form below.

 

There's no time limit and no required format. 

 

Answer each question as its own video. Three videos, three links.

The three questions

Question 1 - Pitch one video we've never made that you're confident would be among our best performing videos of all time.

Question 2 - What have we done well over the last year or so? What would you want to see more of?

Question 3 - What mistakes have we made? What would you change and why?

For all three, the same thing matters: specifics, not vibes. Name the video, name the moment, tell us why it worked. If you're pitching something new, walk us through it like you're in the room, title, thumbnail, beat by beat. If you're telling us what we got wrong, actually say something real, don't hedge it into nothing. Vague answers don't tell us anything. Specific ones do.

Ready? Submit your links here.

Paste the links to your three videos in the form below along with your name and contact info. We review every submission and will reach out within a few business days if we want to move forward.

The answers that stand out are almost always the ones where someone said something specific and meant it.

Spots are limited. Don't sit on this.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
