Chief Content Officer

ABOUT THE COMPANY

We are a leading creator-led digital media production company based in Los Angeles, producing two flagship long-form series with a combined audience of 10M+ subscribers. Our content spans true crime, history, and cultural commentary, delivered through a fully scripted, research-driven production pipeline. We are scaling from a founder-driven operation into a professionally managed media company and are building the leadership team to get us there.

THE ROLE

The Chief Content Officer will serve as the senior editorial and content strategy leader, overseeing all creative output across both flagship series. This role will own the end-to-end content pipeline, from research and scripting through post-production, and will become the primary editorial decision-maker, enabling the founder to focus on on-camera performance and brand vision. This is a ground-floor executive hire with significant influence over the company's creative direction, team architecture, and revenue strategy.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own editorial vision, voice consistency, and quality standards across all content verticals.
• Lead and manage the writers' room, providing script oversight, feedback cycles, and final editorial approval.
• Build and optimize scalable content operations, including production calendars, pipeline workflows, and capacity planning.
• Serve as the primary approval gate for scripts, reducing founder dependency on line-by-line review.
• Develop and execute multi-platform content strategy (YouTube, podcast, membership, and emerging formats).
• Recruit, mentor, and manage creative staff including writers, researchers, and editorial leads.
• Partner with production and post-production leadership to maintain quality at increased volume.
• Advise on revenue diversification: memberships, licensing, brand partnerships, and new IP development.

REQUIREMENTS

• 8+ years in content leadership, editorial management, or executive producing in digital media, streaming, or entertainment.
• Demonstrated experience managing a writers' room or editorial team producing scripted or research-heavy content at volume.
• Deep understanding of YouTube and digital-native content strategy, audience development, and platform algorithms.
• Track record of scaling content operations from founder-dependent to team-driven.
• Experience with production pipeline management: scheduling, capacity planning, and cross-functional coordination.
• Strong editorial instinct with the ability to preserve a distinct creator voice while maintaining quality at scale.
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment with direct founder collaboration.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience at a creator-led media company, MCN, or digital studio (e.g., Mythical, Rooster Teeth, Dude Perfect, LMG).
• Background in true crime, history, or documentary-style content.
• Familiarity with Asana, Frame.io, and Google Workspace production workflows.
• Experience building membership or gated content revenue models.
