We believe in a future where every person will have bitcoin savings, and every business will have bitcoin on the balance sheet. We obsessively design and build delightful products that help our clients buy, sell, secure, and use Bitcoin.\nWe are looking for a Video Content Strategist to build River's YouTube channel and video output. You will own what we make and how we package it: sourcing and selecting ideas, writing host-led scripts, and crafting the titles and thumbnails that decide whether our work gets watched. Our audience is people who are navigating the reality that our money is slowly losing its value; your job is to make them trust us enough to hear the answers. The main goal of the channel is not to promote River’s products, it is to create valuable content you would enjoy watching.\nYou'll report to River's Director of Marketing and work closely with our Host-Producer, the marketing team, and company leadership.\nRiver is growing quickly and has raised more than $50 million from leading investors, including Goldcrest, Kingsway, Polychain, M13, DG, and Valor. We have also releasedour company's financials publicly, so that all of our clients and employees can verify the robustness and growth of the business themselves.\nWhat you will be doing:\nOwn the video content pipeline. Generate and filter video ideas, sourcing input from across the marketing team and our extensive research.\n\nOwn packaging of the titles and thumbnails. You'll craft them and test them.\n\nWrite scripts for medium to long form videos that make money and Bitcoin topics clear, engaging, and impossible to click away from. Some videos will be host-led, others animated.\n\nDevelop hooks and introductions to retain the audience and provide structure.\n\nEnsure the story edit matches the script in structure and pacing.\n\nDrive our success metrics on YouTube: view count, retention, and returning-viewer rate, and iterate relentlessly on what the data tells you.\n\nBuild the systems that let us produce quality content consistently: The idea backlog, filtering process, scripting process, and a testing loop for titles and thumbnails.\n\nWhat we look for in you:\nA track record of growing a video channel, your own or one you led. Not just script writing, but ideas and packaging that measurably moved views and retention.\n\nAn obsession with packaging. You study titles and thumbnails, you have real opinions about why videos win or lose, and you can prove your craft with examples.\n\nExceptional writing and storytelling. You can take a dense economic idea and make a stranger care about it in a single sentence.\n\nA strong understanding of the YouTube algorithm, retention curves, and click-through rate.\n\nYou have a solid understanding of Bitcoin in the economic sense, and what makes it an answer to many of the financial problems the world faces.\n\nA strong sense of ownership. You own the idea end to end, you gather input from the team, but the call is yours, and you stand behind the result.\n\nYou have integrity and know how to present the facts honestly and the brand professionally.\n\nNice to have:\nOn-camera, interviewing, or hosting experience.\n\nA background in finance, economics, or journalism.\n\nSalary and benefits:\nAnnual salary range of $110-165k depending on experience\n\nCompetitive compensation and equity\n\nUnlimited Paid Time Off\n\nParental leave, separate from PTO policy\n\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance + 401k for US based employees\n\nRemote option: You can work from anywhere in the Americas or Europe.\n\nInterview process:\nScreening interview with River's Director of Marketing (20 mins)\n\nFirst round of interviews (1-hour block with River's Chief Product Officer and a Marketing teammate)\n\nTake-home challenge (a paid packaging and scripting exercise)\n\nFinal round of executive interviews (1-hour block with River's COO and CEO)","description_format":"text","description_chars":4040,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k
