THE OPPORTUNITY
Comrade Digital Marketing Agency is searching for a results-driven YouTube Growth Specialist to supercharge our channel's performance. Our audience is made up of law firm owners and key decision-makers — a high-value niche where the right content strategy can generate meaningful business impact.
Today, the channel isn't pulling its weight: engagement is low, attribution is murky, and return on effort is hard to prove. We need someone who can change that. You'll take the reins on everything from overarching channel strategy to thumbnail psychology, turning an underperforming presence into a measurable growth engine within your first year.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Channel Strategy — Build and refine a holistic growth playbook covering topic selection, content formats, publishing cadence, and audience positioning.
- Search & Discovery Optimization — Apply platform-specific SEO techniques to boost rankings, impressions, and suggested-video placement.
- Thumbnail & Title Craft — Design click-worthy packaging that lifts CTR without resorting to clickbait; test, iterate, and document what works.
- Community & Engagement — Cultivate an active subscriber base through comments, community posts, and audience interaction tactics that deepen loyalty.
- Performance Analytics — Monitor retention curves, traffic sources, and conversion paths; translate raw data into actionable recommendations.
- Repurposing & Distribution — Extend the reach of every video by adapting content for Shorts, social clips, newsletters, and other channels.
- Lead Attribution — Close the gap between views and business results by building trackable funnels from YouTube to qualified leads.
- Cross-Team Collaboration — Partner closely with the content and creative teams to ensure every video aligns with brand voice and strategic priorities.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must-Haves (3 - 5 years of Experience)
- Demonstrated success scaling a YouTube channel — particularly in a B2B or professional-services niche — with concrete metrics to show for it.
- In-depth working knowledge of the platform's recommendation engine, including how CTR, average view duration, and session time influence reach.
- Proven ability to research, plan, and optimize video content for search and discovery on YouTube.
- A data-first mindset: comfortable pulling insights from YouTube Studio, identifying patterns, and adjusting strategy accordingly.
- Understanding of how video content fits into a broader marketing funnel — from awareness through to lead capture.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience adapting long-form YouTube content into multi-platform assets (LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, TikTok, email).
- Familiarity with the legal industry or other regulated professional-services verticals.
WHO THRIVES HERE
- Relentlessly analytical — you A/B test thumbnails for fun and geek out over retention graphs.
- Genuinely curious about how the platform evolves and quick to adapt when the algorithm shifts.
- Growth-obsessed — always running small experiments to push reach a little further.
- High ownership — you treat channel metrics like your own scoreboard, not someone else's problem.
- Creative instincts grounded in data — you know what makes someone stop scrolling and hit play.
WHY COMRADE
- Fully remote engagement with a flexible, autonomous working style.
- Direct influence on a channel targeting high-value decision-makers — your work will be visible and impactful.
- Collaborative agency culture that values experimentation, ownership, and clear results.
- Opportunity to shape the YouTube function from the ground up inside an established digital marketing agency.
