YOUR ROLE

You’ll own the strategy, planning, and performance of FinanceBuzz’s video content, with a primary focus on syndication platforms (especially MSN) where revenue is driven by consumed seconds of video. Secondarily, you’ll support video publishing and optimization for YouTube and social platforms.

This is a highly hands‑on role. You’ll be directly involved in topic selection, scripting, editing feedback, thumbnail and on‑screen graphic optimization, and performance analysis. Your goal is simple but ambitious : scale video revenue significantly over time while maintaining high‑quality, trustworthy personal finance content.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need strong instincts for what keeps viewers watching, comfort working with performance data, and the ability to manage multiple contributors and workflows at once. You should be equally comfortable zooming out to plan a content roadmap and zooming in to rewrite a script or leave frame‑by‑frame feedback.

This role is contract‑to‑hire and will play a key role in growing video from its current state (~$15K / month) into a $500K+ annual revenue stream.
