Seeking a Creative Director to lead YouTube channel strategies, mentor junior team members, and drive creative ideas from concept to execution.

Creative Director, YouTube (Long-Form)

We’re building the best YouTube agency in the world.

We’ve assembled a crazy-talented group of YouTube minds who’ve collectively generated over 110 billion views and helped shape how the platform works today. Our founder, Ryan Hashemi, built Jubilee to 14 million subscribers, has 4 Emmy nominations, and even trained the person who now runs MrBeast’s studio. Our team comes from places like WIRED, Vogue, Mini Katana (18M+ subs), and other iconic YouTube brands. (Learn more about Ryan’s journey here!)

Now we're helping the world's biggest brands crack the code on YouTube and make content that people actually want to watch at scale.

Why This is Exciting

Just a year in, and the numbers speak for themselves. We launched a brand-new YouTube channel for a global tech-security company less than 30 days ago—two videos are already on track to hit 1 million views each, and the channel has gained nearly 30,000 subscribers. Our fourth video for a “boring” HR SaaS company just crossed 1 million views. And we’re just getting started.

After stepping down from Jubilee, Ryan is betting everything on Snowball. That bet is already paying off in a big way. Major brands are coming to us because they know YouTube is the next frontier–they just need the right team to help them conquer it.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Creative Director who can think high-level and in the weeds—someone who brings a clear creative superpower, but also knows how to coach and uplevel producers and junior strategists.

You’ve helped launch (or grow) big YouTube channels. You can take a seed of an idea and turn it into a full-blown format. You know how to write a killer title and design a thumbnail brief that actually performs. And you love helping others get better.

What You'll Do
  • Lead strategy for full channels and long-form series across multiple clients

  • Serve as a key point of contact for clients, presenting strategy, shaping creative direction, and ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery of content that exceeds expectation

  • Pitch creative ideas and guide them from concept through execution

  • Review pre-pro decks, story outlines, and scripts with a strong editorial lens

  • Own packaging strategy—including title, thumbnail, and metadata

  • Mentor junior strategists and producers, helping them grow their skills and instincts

  • Bring a POV on creative performance and how to improve it—without killing the creative

Who You Are
  • 5–7+ years experience working on non-fiction, non-kids YouTube content

  • You've worked at a major YouTube-first brand, publisher, agency, or studio

  • You’ve got a production background, a creative strategist background—or both

  • You bring a “superpower” to the team (story, packaging, audience development, format design…)

  • You’re humble, collaborative, and care about raising the bar—for yourself and others

  • You’ve got a portfolio of content that actually worked—and you can explain why

What We Offer
  • Health & vision benefits

  • Remote-first with flexible hybrid options

  • Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-growing creative company

  • Direct mentorship from industry-leading creatives and co-founders

  • A+ team culture rooted in clarity, creativity, and overdelivering for clients

Our Values
  • Work hard, learn harder

  • Be effectively proactive

  • Overdeliver for clients

  • Be kind by being clear

  • A+ players only

How to Apply

Resumes are cool, but we’d love to see something that shows us who you are. A portfolio, a Loom, a deck, a note. Tell us what makes you qualified to help build the future of YouTube with us.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
