Senior Content Producer, Founders School - $400,000/year USD

You understand the distinction between content that's merely published and content that audiences actively share. If you've independently grown an audience by shooting, editing, packaging, and publishing your own videos, this is your chance to do it once more—this time supporting the launch of a school that trains teenagers to become founders.

Founders School is creating a new educational category for driven teens who aspire to build companies rather than postpone entrepreneurship until adulthood. We’re seeking someone capable of transforming founder dialogues, student milestones, and entrepreneurial insights into platform‑native content that attracts attention organically. Your performance won’t be evaluated through content calendars, brand standards, or agency oversight. It will hinge on a single metric: whether the audience expands and qualified families choose to enroll.

What You Will Be Doing

Independently produce founder‑driven content by scripting, shooting, editing, packaging, publishing, and refining videos across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and additional creator platforms.

Convert founder discussions, student narratives, events, and unedited footage into engaging stories that ambitious teens and their parents organically want to view and distribute.

Execute fast‑paced experiments involving hooks, thumbnails, titles, formats, editing approaches, publishing frequency, and distribution tactics to drive organic audience expansion.

Leverage analytics and AI resources to enhance content quality, production efficiency, and results with each iteration.

Establish the creator‑driven media system that produces qualified admissions interest through genuine storytelling instead of paid media.

What You Won’t Be Doing

Overseeing agencies, production contractors, or teams responsible for content creation on your behalf.

Reviewing creative submissions from the sidelines rather than directly producing high‑impact content yourself.

Executing traditional school marketing, corporate branding initiatives, or managing a social media posting schedule.

Pursuing superficial metrics or depending on paid advertising rather than achieving organic audience development.

Allocating time to meetings about content rather than actively creating it.
