JOB OVERVIEW

YouTube Creative Director — Davao City (Hybrid)

Location: Davao City — Davao-based applicants only
Setup: Hybrid (work-from-home + our Davao City studio)
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM PHT (occasional urgent-turnaround flex)

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're the team behind Shane Hummus, a leading career and finance YouTube channel, and we produce content for established business owners, YouTube entrepreneurs, and business coaches. We're hiring a Creative Director to own the creative engine behind that content.

This is a hands-on role, not management from the sidelines. You'll live in the edit, shape the story, and sit in the room where content decisions get made — working directly with Shane (CEO) and the production team on what gets made and why.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Edit long-form video — talking-head, podcast, and interview content — with strong pacing, hooks, b-roll, captions, and retention-driven structure
- Shape the video content roadmap directly with the CEO and team
- Develop and refine content ideas that serve each channel's brand and business goals
- Own content end to end — ideation, scripting support, editing, publishing — while protecting the creator's voice
- Fold YouTube growth strategy into content planning and optimize output for the algorithm
- Read performance data and adjust — views, retention, engagement, conversions
- Occasional ad hoc creative work, like turning client ideas into clean visual presentations (Miro, Google Slides)

NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS

- Proven long-form editing experience on talking-head, podcast, or interview content — your portfolio must include published videos, with links to the channels they ran on
- Strong command of YouTube-native editing: pacing, hooks, b-roll, captions, retention
- At least ONE of the following, with examples:
– Thumbnail design: click-worthy YouTube thumbnails, OR
– YouTube strategy: titles, packaging, SEO, analytics, channel growth
- Excellent English and comfort collaborating directly with the CEO and clients
- Data-driven but trend-aware — you work with numbers and taste
- Based in Davao City and available for the hybrid studio setup

BONUS POINTS

- Background in marketing, branding, or viral content creation
- Experience managing and growing YouTube channels
- Working knowledge of YouTube SEO and monetization
- Comfortable running multiple projects in parallel without dropping threads

WHAT WE OFFER

- Year end bonus
- Your wins become your rewards. Earn ₱2,000–₱50,000 bonuses with no earning limit
- Your wins become your rewards. Earn ₱2,000–₱50,000 bonuses with no earning limit
- HMO, dental, mental health & telemedicine coverage (after 6-month tenure)
- Paid week-long Christmas leave + PTO + Birthday gift
- Workshops plus financial & credit support
- Real creative authority — your input shapes strategy, not just execution

HOW TO APPLY

Include in your application:
1. Your resume/CV
2. 2–3 long-form videos you edited (talking-head/podcast preferred) — links to the published videos, with the channel name and your role on each
3. If you're claiming the thumbnail or strategy leg: 2–3 examples of that work
