Manager YouTube & Affiliates

What is the opportunity?

We're looking for a hands-on, execution-first Manager, YouTube & Affiliates to lead the day-to-day development of our YouTube content and our affiliate partnerships. This is a role for someone who thrives in the weeds — equally comfortable developing video as they are managing affiliate publishers and optimizing content for search-driven conversions. You'll own the full lifecycle of two connected content engines: a YouTube channel that turns complex topics into digestible, high-performing video narratives, and an affiliate program that guides, and optimizes partner publisher content. The throughline is execution — you are the person making the work happen, not just planning it. You'll set the editorial calendar, produce video assets end-to-end, manage affiliate relationships, and track performance across both programs — refining what works and cutting what doesn't.

What will you do ?

• End-to-End Ideation: Manage the full editorial calendar from concept through publication — including ideation, keyword research, target demographic analysis, and final platform publishing.
• Script & Narrative Development: Write, edit, adapt, and refine high-performing video scripts that break down topics into digestible, consumer-friendly narratives.
• Production & Post-Production: Independently shoot, record, and edit platform-native long-form videos, YouTube Shorts, and agile social teasers.
• Platform Optimization: Own asset optimization — drafting platform-native copy, descriptions, tags, timestamp chapters, and directing high-conversion thumbnail design.
• Brand Alignment: Implement and maintain enterprise brand standards and visual guidelines across all output, ensuring a consistent and premium look and feel.
• Partner Management: Onboard, and guide affiliate publishers, providing them with clear content guidelines and ongoing support.
• Performance Tracking: Analyze content performance and conversion rates to refine and optimize content performance.
• Balance priorities across both programs and keep output on schedule without sacrificing quality.
• Establish and track KPIs for video performance (views, watch time, CTR, subscriber growth) and affiliate performance (traffic, conversions, commission revenue), and report on them regularly.
• Stay current on YouTube algorithm changes, platform features, and SEO best practices, and adapt strategy accordingly.

What do you need to succeed?

Must-haves:

• 5+ years demonstrated experience creating and publishing YouTube video content end-to-end — from concept and scripting through shooting, editing, and platform publishing. A portfolio or channel we can review is required.
• Working knowledge of YouTube SEO — titles, descriptions, tags, chapters, thumbnail strategy — and a track record of optimizing content for discovery and CTR.
• Strong video production and post-production skills, including the ability to independently shoot, record, and edit long-form video, Shorts, and social teasers.
• Experience writing and refining video scripts that translate complex or technical topics into clear, engaging consumer narratives.
• Experience managing affiliate or partner content programs, including publisher recruitment, onboarding, and performance tracking.
• Comfort analyzing performance data (CTR, conversion rates, etc.) and translating it into content decisions.
• Familiarity with digital asset management tools and workflows.
• Understanding of personal finance, markets, or the Canadian banking landscape is considered an asset for this role.

What’s in it for you?

• Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities
• A world-class training program in financial services
• Flexible work/life balance options
