Kaleidoscope is your daily invitation to the Scientific Renaissance. We craft premium podcasts and video series at the intersection of science, storytelling, and culture — partnering with the world’s most influential thinkers, institutions, and platforms. From iHeart

Podcasts to Google to Walter Isaacson, our shows bring clarity to complexity and reimagine how science and technology are communicated in the 21st century. Backed by world-class investors and collaborators, we’re scaling a category-defining brand that reaches millions.

As we launch our dedicated video department, we are seeking a Channel Manager to oversee the day-to-day management and growth of Kaleidoscope’s You Tube portfolio. This role requires a blend of creative optimization and analytical rigor to maximize our reach across high-quality video podcasts, social originals, and original You Tube series.

You will be our internal subject matter expert on all things You Tube, translating complex data into actionable creative strategies that ensure our content doesn't just exist, but thrives and scales.

• Channel Operations:
  Establish and enforce best practices for publishing workflows, including scheduling, metadata application, and consistent templating across all channels.
• Performance Analysis:
  Own the monitoring of channel health. Translate You Tube Studio analytics into weekly strategic reports for leadership and creative teams.
• Content Library Strategy:
  Actively nurture the existing content library by strategically selecting clips and shorts for repurposing, directing series editors on creating impactful cutdowns, and continuously re-optimizing evergreen assets to sustain channel health and accelerate growth.
• Strategic You Tube Leadership:
  Advise cross-functional teams on monetization strategies, live streaming, and emerging platform features to stay ahead of the algorithm.

• Have a proven track record of growing You Tube audiences at scale through hands‑on management.
• Possess expert-level proficiency with You Tube Studio analytics and optimization tools.
• Are a "creative scientist"—combining graphic design skills for thumbnails with a data-driven approach to title copywriting.
• Deeply understand You Tube’s monetization ecosystem and algorithmic best practices.
• Communicate complex data clearly to both executive and creative stakeholders.

At Kaleidoscope, our goal is to bring clarity to complexity. As Channel Manager, you are the bridge between our visionary content and the millions of viewers searching for it. You ensure that our stories reach the widest possible audience through an optimized digital presence.
