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.

- Managing freelancers effectively: assigning work, giving clear feedback, and coordinating payments and budgets
- Maintaining high quality and brand consistency across all video content
- Monitoring video performance metrics and proactively identifying opportunities for improvement
- Growing video revenue from its current level toward a $500K+ annual run rate
- Establishing FinanceBuzz as a trusted and engaging personal finance video brand
Core Responsibilities
- Own the video content strategy for syndication platforms, with a primary focus on MSN
- Plan and maintain the video content calendar
- Write, edit, and optimize video scripts
- Provide detailed feedback to video editors and designers
- Optimize thumbnails, titles, and on-screen graphics for engagement
- Oversee video production workflows for speed, quality, and consistency
- Manage freelance contributors and coordinate with internal stakeholders on budgets and payments
- Conduct quality control on all video outputs
- Track and report on video performance metrics and revenue

- Collaborative: Works closely with editorial, design, and operations partners
- Coachability: Welcomes feedback and actively seeks ways to improve systems and output
