Job Description
This is a remote position.
Help build the best YouTube agency in the world.
We are recruiting for one of the biggest Youtube agencies. Their founder built one of YouTube's most iconic channels to 14 million subscribers, earned 4 Emmy nominations, and literally trained the person who now runs MrBeast's content empire. Their other co-founder built and sold one of Australia's fastest-growing digital agencies and is now building something even bigger.
Their team? They've shaped content at WIRED, Vogue, channels with 18M+ subscribers, and have collectively generated over 110 billion views. When major brands want to crack YouTube, this is who they call.
The Opportunity
In just their first year, they're already delivering insane results. They launched a YouTube channel for a global tech company 7 days ago, the first video is already at 150,000 views. Their fourth video for an "unsexy" HR software company just crossed 1 million views. And they're just warming up.
The founder stepped away from his previous venture to bet everything on this agency. That bet is paying off, 30+ major brands reached out last month alone. They're scaling from handling a few premium clients to building a content machine that can deliver world-class results at scale.
That's where you come in.
The Role: Project Manager Who Can Tame Creative Chaos
They need someone who can build the operational backbone for their rapidly scaling content machine. This isn't about making spreadsheets prettier, it's about creating the systems that let brilliant strategists and creators do their best work without drowning in logistics.
You'll be managing projects for brands you actually know, working with creators who've shaped how YouTube works today, and building processes that will define how the best content gets made tomorrow.
What You'll Actually Own:
Transform creative chaos into executable workflows, taking projects from initial strategy sessions through final delivery across multiple high-stakes channels
Build the infrastructure that doesn't exist yet, creating systems, documentation, and processes that scale from 5 projects to 50 without breaking
Become the central nervous system for communication, making sure strategists, editors, designers, and clients are always aligned, even when moving at breakneck speed
Anticipate and eliminate friction before it happens, spotting bottlenecks, following up relentlessly, and keeping deliverables moving no matter what
Own the details so creators can own the vision, managing assets, tracking feedback loops, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
Who You Are:
You've spent 4+ years managing creative teams or agency workflows (YouTube/video experience makes you a standout)
You're fluent in Notion, Frame.io, Slack, and whatever tools it takes to keep projects on track
You get genuinely excited about turning ambiguity into clarity
You can handle direct feedback and fast pivots without breaking a sweat
You're the person who remembers what everyone else forgets
You see systems where others see chaos
What Sets You Apart:
Direct access to the founders and leadership team shaping YouTube's future
Real ownership over how world-class content gets made
The chance to build processes that will scale to hundreds of millions of views
Great English communication is a must!
Our Values
Work hard, learn harder
Be effectively proactive
Overdeliver for clients
Be kind by being clear
A+ players only
If you’re ready to help build the backbone of the world’s top-performing content teams and keep creative chaos running like clockwork, AgencyHires wants to hear from you.
