Temporary Associate Account Director / Account Supervisor | 15 hrs/week

What this role is

This is not a traditional Account role.

You'll lead a high-profile YouTube engagement for one of the world's fastest-growing content creation platforms, helping shape creator-first programming, product education, and long-form content experiences for a global audience. This role is initially scoped through June 2027 and aligned to a dedicated client engagement, with potential opportunities to expand as the partnership grows.

You are equal parts business lead, strategic partner, and operator. You know how to build trust with senior clients, translate ambition into clear plans, and guide cross-functional teams to deliver work that shows up in culture, not just on a content calendar. You will partner closely with the Account lead on this business.

You are comfortable in the gray. You bring structure where it's needed, push when it matters, and stay close enough to the work to keep the quality bar high. You are energized by the intersection of creators, content, education, and product storytelling, and understand how compelling long-form content can build both audience engagement and brand affinity.

Location: Los Angeles preferred. While this is a remote role, proximity to the internal team in Los Angeles and the client team in China is a plus. There is no expectation to work from a physical office, though candidates who prefer a hybrid or in-office environment are welcome.

This position is estimated to be up to 15 hours per week, launching soon through end of February 2027, with likelihood to extend until June 2027.
