Daily Stoic is a leading philosophy and self-improvement brand, reaching millions of people each month across our newsletter, YouTube, podcasts, and books. We’re looking for a YouTube Video Producer to help us continue growing our channel.

This person will play a central role in shaping how Stoic philosophy reaches a global audience—conceptualizing new video ideas, researching scripts, overseeing editing, and ensuring every video is optimized for growth and impact.

What You’ll Do

• Content Development: Pitch and conceptualize new YouTube video ideas aligned with Daily Stoic’s brand and audience.
• Research & Writing: Conduct background research, outline, and help draft scripts for videos.
• Production Management: Coordinate and manage the video production process from idea → script → shoot → edit → upload.
• Editing (Preferred): Edit videos or oversee outside editors, ensuring high-quality, engaging content.
• Publishing & Optimization: Manage uploads, write compelling titles/descriptions, and optimize content for YouTube performance.
• Creative Collaboration: Work closely with Ryan Holiday and the Daily Stoic team to continually improve video storytelling and audience engagement.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong knowledge of YouTube as a platform (algorithms, retention strategies, thumbnail/title optimization).
• Excellent storytelling and research skills—comfortable turning complex philosophical ideas into engaging, accessible scripts.
• Experience producing content for YouTube or digital platforms.
• Strong project management skills, able to oversee multiple videos at different stages.
• Video editing experience (Premiere, Final Cut, or similar) is a major plus but not strictly required.
• Filming/shooting experience is a plus.
• Self-starter who thrives in a creative, fast-paced, and independent work environment.

Why Join Us

• Work with one of the largest philosophy-driven brands in the world.
• Be part of a small, passionate, and creative team making meaningful content.
• Help shape a channel watched by millions and growing rapidly.
• Flexible work environment (hybrid in person / remote)
