About the role

We are hiring a Head of YouTube to build and own a category-defining content engine at Slash. This is not a traditional social media role.

• Translate complex financial products into engaging, accessible storytelling that educates and converts
• Build and manage a creator ecosystem, including sourcing, onboarding, and working with creators and production partners
• Own production end-to-end, including allocating resources across formats, creators, and experiments
• Expand content strategy across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and emerging channels
• Ensure a cohesive narrative across all owned content channels
• Define and build Slash’s content identity from the ground up

Qualifications

• Deep expertise in YouTube, including strong intuition for algorithm, thumbnails, titles, and retention
• Proven experience growing a YouTube channel (your own or for a creator) to meaningful scale
• Strong creative instincts paired with analytical rigor
• Experience building and managing creator ecosystems
• Operator mindset: you can execute, not just strategize
• Comfort working in ambiguity and building from scratch
• Clear communication and ability to work directly with founders
• High ownership mindset
