YouTube Content Lead

About Us Becoming You Labs is a self-discovery and career planning platform on a mission to help people live purposeful, authentic lives. Our flagship assessment, The Values Bridge, which uncovers, rank-orders your values from 1-16, and identifies how much you are actually fulfilling them, has been taken over 150,000 times. Founded by Dr. Suzy Welch, professor at NYU Stern and three-time New York Times bestselling author, Becoming You Labs is 15-people strong, profitable, and growing fast, with a suite of well-received products in the wellbeing space, a popular podcast, a strong Instagram presence, and plans for global expansion.

The Opportunity Here\'s the situation: 150,000 people have taken our assessment. Zero of them can find us on YouTube when they search to understand their results. Meanwhile, every comparable tool—Enneagram, MBTI, CliftonStrengths—has built thriving YouTube ecosystems where users spend hours going down the rabbit hole, deepening their understanding and sharing with friends.

We\'re hiring a YouTube Content Lead to build our channel from the ground up. You\'ll own the strategy, the production pipeline, and the metrics. You\'ll work directly with our founder to translate fascinating personal insights into content people actually want to watch—and share.

This isn\'t about posting occasional videos. It\'s about building a content engine that becomes the go-to destination for anyone who wants to understand their values and live more authentically.

Who You Are You're YouTube-native.

You understand the algorithm not as an abstract concept but as a living system you\'ve learned to work with. You know why some videos take off and others don\'t. You\'ve studied what makes educational and personality-type content succeed on the platform.

You've built something.

Whether it\'s your own channel, a client\'s channel, or a brand\'s presence—you\'ve taken a YouTube property from small to meaningful. You can point to specific decisions you made and the results they produced.

You're a skilled producer.

You can write a script, direct a shoot, give feedback on an edit, and design a thumbnail. You don\'t need to be an expert at everything, but you need to be competent across the production workflow and know when to bring in specialists.

You care about the content.

Self-discovery, values, purpose, living authentically—this isn\'t just a job to you. You\'re genuinely interested in helping people understand themselves better.

You're organized and autonomous.

You\'ll have significant ownership and creative freedom. That means you need to manage your own time, hit deadlines, and proactively solve problems without constant oversight.
