About Flick

Flick is building the next-generation interface for professional, AI-driven filmmaking. The company blends technical innovation with cinematic craft, led by an engineer who contributed to Instagram Stories and an award-winning filmmaker. It is backed by prominent investors such as True Ventures, GV, Lightspeed, and other leading venture firms.

Flick is also sharing examples of its work, including a launch video and award-winning AI films made with its tools.

About the Role

This position is for a YouTube-focused creative leader who understands how the platform drives attention, watch time, and audience growth. The right person will know how to turn viewer behavior and channel data into better content over time.

You will take full ownership of Flick’s YouTube output from concept through publication. That includes researching topics, writing scripts, shooting footage, editing videos, publishing uploads, and reviewing performance. You will partner closely with the founders, product team, and filmmaker community to produce content that is practical, entertaining, and meaningful for filmmakers and other creative professionals.

Core Responsibilities

• Build and run Flick’s YouTube content strategy.
• Study trends, creators, competitors, and viewer interests in AI filmmaking, film production, animation, and creative technology.
• Shape strong video concepts, including titles, hooks, and thumbnail ideas.
• Write scripts and structure videos to improve retention.
• Film product demos, tutorials, interviews, creator stories, and behind-the-scenes pieces.
• Edit longer YouTube videos and adapt them into Shorts and other social clips.
• Work with filmmakers and Flick users to present real creative processes and projects.
• Optimize uploads by refining titles, descriptions, chapters, tags, and thumbnails.
• Measure click-through rate, watch time, retention, subscriber growth, and conversions, then use the data to improve future content.
• Test new topics, formats, and storytelling styles quickly.

Content You May Produce

• Tutorials and workflow breakdowns for AI filmmaking.
• Product launches, feature demos, and creative experiments.
• Creator interviews, case studies, and “how I made this” style videos.
• Breakdowns of short films and visual storytelling.
• Comparisons of AI models and production workflows.
• Behind-the-scenes content featuring the Flick team.
• Educational videos about directing, storytelling, cinematography, and creative AI.

What We Are Looking For

• Demonstrated experience producing content specifically for YouTube.
• Strong knowledge of titles, thumbnails, hooks, audience retention, and channel growth on YouTube.
• Ability to take a video independently from idea development through final upload.
• Strong editing ability and a sharp sense for visual storytelling.
• Comfort appearing on camera or guiding on-camera talent.
• Excellent writing and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical products in a clear and engaging way.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup setting.
• Real interest in AI, filmmaking, storytelling, and creative technology.
• Willingness to experiment, review performance, and change direction based on results.

Nice to Have

• Experience growing a YouTube channel.
• Background creating content for a SaaS, AI, filmmaking, design, or creative technology company.
• Familiarity with AI image-generation and video-generation tools.
• Experience interviewing creators or producing documentary-style content.
• Skills in motion graphics, animation, sound design, or thumbnail design.
• Working knowledge of filmmaking, cinematography, or screenwriting.
• An existing YouTube channel or portfolio that shows your work.

What Success Looks Like

• Flick publishes strong YouTube videos consistently.
• The videos attract filmmakers and serious creative users interested in AI filmmaking, creator tools, video production, storytelling, and the future of film rather than only broad AI audiences.
• Metrics such as click-through rate, watch time, retention, and returning viewers improve over time.
• Viewers clearly understand what Flick does and how it fits into their creative workflow.
• You develop repeatable formats that can grow into recognizable Flick series.
• YouTube becomes an important driver of brand awareness, community growth, and product adoption.
