Salary range: $80,000 to $100,000 base per year, plus bonus
Are You the Missing Piece?
True crime has the kind of fans who don’t just watch – they binge, dissect, and obsess. A leading podcast network is ready to give fans more to chew on, but they need a YouTube Channel Manager to help turn their addictive audio into can’t-look-away video.

Think turning addictive audio into must-watch video, growing subscribers like crazy, and keeping your finger on the pulse of platform trends before anyone else even hears the rumor.
This is a full-time, in-person gig in Indianapolis or NYC—so if you’re ready to bring stories to life on-screen and turn casual scrollers into die-hard fans, keep reading.
