YouTube Producer

Join to apply for the You Tube Producer role at Energy Central

Energy Central, a media company that empowers, engages, and educates utility and power professionals, is growing our content & community team with the addition of a You Tube producer. This team leader will be responsible for ideating, producing, managing, and up leveling Energy Central’s growing portfolio of multimedia shows, with a specific focus on You Tube.

• You’ll lead Energy Central’s multimedia strategy across You Tube, including podcasts, interviews, and short‑form content. That includes tracking data and analytics to develop a dual quantitative and qualitative approach to content strategy. You’ll also own You Tube performance and packaging—thumbnails, titles, hooks, pacing, retention, analytics, optimization.
• You’ll build and manage a team of top‑tier talent, editors, thumbnail designers, and contributors dedicated to growing Energy Central’s You Tube presence.
• You’ll develop repeatable video formats and franchises that scale and reflect our brand.
• You’ll lead all multimedia content for Energy Central’s Content & Community team, working with our newsletter, sales, and ops teams to ensure every video, essay, interview, etc. we publish meets a high standard.
• You’ll help refine and implement Energy Central’s voice and visual identity—one that’s friendly, intelligent, curious, and optimistic—across multimedia content on You Tube, listening platforms, and social media.

• A sharp visual storyteller and You Tube expert who knows how to take complex, technical ideas and turn them into videos people actually want to watch. You think in narrative arcs, hooks, moments of tension, reveals, and clarity. You understand how strong thumbnails, titles, intros, pacing, and editing rhythm drive watch time. You study retention curves. You know how to open a video, when to deploy a cold hook, and how to keep viewers engaged all the way through.
  
  You’re an expert in You Tube storytelling and a master of the platform craft.
• An energy wonk who loves to learn, talk, and think about the future of electric power (we’re looking for someone with a strong eye for curation of what really matters). Or, if you don’t come from the energy world, you’re someone with strong video‑journalism instincts who knows how to make complex topics feel interesting, clear, and human. Experience working in niche or technical industries is a plus.
• Someone with 3–5 years of experience in digital media, production, visual journalism, or related fields with excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and organization (experience with copy editing is a plus).
• Down with a little ambiguity and white space—we’re building something big, and we’re all about bringing creativity to the process.

• Competitive compensation
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Unlimited PTO (mandatory 10 days per year minimum)
• Strong opportunity for growth at profitable, bootstrapped startup

You can live anywhere in North America, so long as you’re excited about coming to NYC to visit headquarters regularly. This job is remote‑friendly, but if you do happen to live in NYC, you can work out of our Manhattan office with the rest of the team.

We are ridiculously confident in the future of both energy innovation and the team we’re assembling to cover it. If you’re excited at the prospect of joining an ambitious, curious, and excited team—we'd love to see your application.
