Job Title:
YouTube Researcher / Content
Location:
Chennai (On-site)
Role Overview
We are looking for a sharp and highly capable Senior Researcher / Content Creator to support the build-out and scale-up of our YouTube channel. This role is for someone who understands the depth of work that goes into strong YouTube content and can contribute meaningfully across research, ideation, scripting support, and day-to-day content execution.
The ideal candidate should have prior experience working on YouTube-led content in a meaningful way, preferably in environments where the channel has scaled to at least 100,000 subscribers. This person should understand what makes content worth watching, how to research well, how to shape ideas into compelling videos, and how to work closely with a channel lead to maintain both quality and consistency across long-form and short-form content.
Key Responsibilities
•
Drive Research for Long-Form and Short-Form Content
Take ownership of topic research across videos, ensuring each idea is backed by strong inputs, relevant data, audience context, and clear points of view. Build research that is useful, credible, and ready to be translated into content.
•
Support Content Ideation and Development
Work closely with the Channel Manager to identify strong video opportunities, recurring themes, timely ideas, and scalable content formats. Contribute meaningfully to the channel’s idea pipeline, not just execution.
•
Shape Video Narratives and Scripting Inputs
Convert raw research into structured content inputs for long-form videos, short-form scripts, hooks, talking points, outlines, and briefing notes. Ensure content feels sharp, coherent, and audience-friendly.
•
Own Day-to-Day Content Execution Support
Play a key role in the day-to-day execution of the channel by coordinating content inputs, tightening research, supporting script development, and helping move videos smoothly from concept to production.
•
Create Content with Platform Sensitivity
Understand the difference between what works in long-form and short-form formats. Build content inputs that are native to YouTube and suited to audience behavior, retention patterns, and packaging expectations.
•
Track Trends, Competition, and Audience Signals
Stay close to the category, emerging conversations, and competing channels. Identify patterns, content gaps, and evolving audience interests that can shape stronger content decisions.
•
Collaborate Closely with the Channel Manager and Creative Team
Work in close partnership with the Channel Manager, as well as writers, editors, designers, and on-screen talent where needed, to ensure strong alignment between idea, execution, and final output.
•
Help Improve Content Quality Over Time
Use performance observations, audience feedback, and ongoing review cycles to sharpen research quality, improve content inputs, and raise the overall standard of the channel.

Strong research ability with the skill to turn information into structured, engaging content inputs

High attention to detail, strong ownership, and the ability to work at speed without compromising quality
Nice to Have
Prior experience in finance, fintech, business, or educational content
Familiarity with YouTube analytics, audience retention patterns, and video performance indicators
Ability to contribute directly to scripting, content framing, or on-screen storytelling
Experience working in a fast-paced, content-led growth environment
