YouTube + Content Growth Virtual Assistant (Remote)
Overview
We’re looking for a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant to support our YouTube channel growth end-to-end: video editing, uploads, SEO optimisation, repurposing into Shorts for multiple platforms, and proactive improvement suggestions.
This role is for someone who understands YouTube as a search and recommendation engine (not just editing), and can spot growth opportunities, content blindspots, and lead-generation angles.
Key Responsibilities
1) YouTube video editing + publishing
Edit long-form videos (clean cuts, pacing, captions/subtitles when needed, simple motion graphics, audio levelling)
Prepare thumbnails (basic design + A/B-ready variations if possible)
Upload and publish videos on schedule
Add end screens, cards, chapters, and pinned comments
2) YouTube SEO + optimisation
Do keyword research and topic validation (search intent + competition)
Optimise titles, descriptions, tags, categories, and hashtags
Recommend playlists and channel structure improvements
Maintain consistent metadata standards across the channel
Track what’s working and iterate (CTR, retention, watch time, traffic sources)
3) Repurposing into Shorts + cross-posting
Create YouTube Shorts from long-form content (hook-first, tight pacing, captions)
Repurpose and format for:
Instagram Reels
TikTok
XHS (Xiaohongshu)

4) Blog + web link maintenance (SEO support)
Maintain blog posts that support video topics (basic formatting + internal linking)
Update web links and embed videos where relevant
Implement simple on-page SEO hygiene (headings, meta title/description drafts, keyword placement, alt text suggestions)
5) Growth monitoring + proactive recommendations
Watch for channel growth opportunities (trending topics, competitor moves, content gaps)
Identify blindspots in content strategy (what we’re not addressing, weak hooks, unclear positioning)
Suggest lead-generation improvements (CTAs, lead magnets, link-in-bio structure, pinned comment strategy)
