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
Compensation - Climbing Ladder
Stage 1 (first 90 days, mission-aligned starter rate):
$200/month retainer for ~8 hrs work
Future revenue share activates at channel growth gate
Stage 2 (channel reaches 1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours - monetization eligible):
$500/month retainer
25% of AdSense revenue
20% of sponsorship revenue you source
Stage 3 (channel reaches 10,000 subs + sustained growth):
$500/month retainer OR $750-1,500/month (whichever is higher) based on hours scope
40% of AdSense revenue
30% of sponsorship revenue you source
Senior advisor track conversation opens
Equity participation discussion
Who we want
2-7 years managing a YouTube channel (yours or someone else's)
Channel grew measurably under your management
Thumbnail design fluency (Photoshop, Canva, Figma)
YouTube SEO knowledge - tags, descriptions, watch-time optimization
Analytics fluency - retention curves, CTR, audience insights
Comfortable with editor coordination
Bonus: Channel you grew in B2B services, professional content, education, or similar.
Who we are not for
Generalist social media managers without YouTube-specific traction
Anyone whose only experience is uploading videos without channel strategy
Channels you "managed" but cannot show measurable growth
