Video Producer

Content Producer, Video

Location: Hybrid — Palo Alto, CA / Remote
Type: Full-time
Reports to: Dalton Caldwell

About the Role

Standard Capital is hiring a Content Producer, Video to help build and operate our video content engine across Dalton + Michael and the Standard Capital YouTube channels.

We are looking for someone who can help us build a serious video operation without turning the content into generic corporate media.

This person will work directly with Dalton Caldwell to manage the full video production workflow: owning the content calendar, coordinating weekly shoots in Palo Alto, orchestrating production contractors, and making sure finished videos are published consistently at a high level of quality.

The ideal candidate is already familiar with Dalton + Michael and understands why the series works: direct, honest, founder-focused information, practical and low on fluff.

What You’ll Do

• Own the content calendar across Dalton + Michael and Standard Capital video channels

• Coordinate weekly in-person shoots at our private studio in Palo Alto

• Work directly with Dalton on video priorities, episode ideas, publishing cadence, and content strategy

• Manage editors, designers, and other production contractors

• Translate creative direction into clear briefs, timelines, and deliverables

• Track videos through every stage of production: concept, shoot, edit, review, packaging, publishing, and post-publication analysis

• Review cuts and provide structured feedback to editors

• Keep production organized so videos ship consistently and on schedule

• Measure and monitor content performance, identify what is working, and work to raise the bar on quality and engagement

• Help develop a repeatable system for turning long-form conversations into high-quality clips and social assets

Who You Are

• You have experience producing YouTube videos, podcasts, interview shows, founder content, or other digital video formats

• You are highly organized and can manage multiple contractors and projects at once

• You are comfortable working directly with a founder/principal and turning high-level direction into execution

• You understand YouTube as a format, including titles, thumbnails, retention, clips, Shorts, and publishing strategy

• You have strong editorial judgment and can tell when a video feels sharp, boring, too polished, too long, or off-tone

• You are familiar with Dalton + Michael and understand the tone of the show

• You care about startups, founders, AI, and venture capital

• You are comfortable being in Palo Alto for weekly shoots

• You are low-ego, detail-oriented, fast-moving, and reliable

• You can manage creative work without letting projects drift

What We’re Looking For

The right person will understand that the value of Dalton + Michael is not flashy production. It is the clarity, honesty, and usefulness of the advice. Your job is to help preserve that while making the overall operation more consistent, higher-quality, and easier to scale.

You should be able to manage editors and contractors, improve workflow, keep the calendar moving, and help us make better decisions about what to record, how to package it, and how to distribute it.

Nice to Have

• Experience producing a YouTube channel with a regular publishing cadence

• Experience with startup, tech, investing, or founder-focused content

• Experience managing freelance editors, thumbnail designers, or social video teams

• Familiarity with YouTube Studio analytics

• Strong taste in titles, thumbnails, and short-form clips

• Experience with Riverside, Descript, Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, Frame.io, Figma, or similar tools

• Experience building systems for content operations

• Your resume or LinkedIn

• Examples of video channels, shows, or projects you have produced

• A short note on your familiarity with Dalton + Michael

• One example of a Dalton + Michael video you think works well, and why
