A note from the founder
YouTube is the second-largest search engine and the most underbuilt asset for workforce strategy firms.
The Wilkinson Firm has the founder voice, the operator content, and the buyer relevance to build a real channel. We have not built one yet. That is what this seat changes.
We need a YouTube channel manager who can run the operation: thumbnail design, SEO-optimized titles and descriptions, retention-optimized edits, posting cadence, analytics tracking, and the path from view to inbound conversation.
This is a performance role with a clear climb. Modest retainer at start. Real revenue share as the channel monetizes.
What you would do
Channel strategy and content roadmap for the TWF YouTube presence
Thumbnail design and A/B testing
Title and description SEO optimization
Coordinate with Podcast Producer and Clipper on long-form vs short-form distribution
Manage posting cadence (target 2 long-form + 5 Shorts per week)
Analytics tracking, retention curve diagnosis
Comment management and community engagement
AdSense optimization once monetization unlocks
Sponsorship pipeline development
