At Novakid, our goal is to establish the premier online education platform dedicated to children. With more than 100,000 students and 4,000 educators, Novakid is currently one of the leading language learning platforms for kids aged 4-12 in Europe and Asia.

About the Role We are developing a new interactive family entertainment project, centered around YouTube as the primary platform and content hub. Short-form content, including TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, will serve as the initial attraction, designed to entice viewers to the main YouTube episodes. You will be in charge of the creative direction for both long-form and short-form content, ensuring that every piece complements the others within the broader system.

Before investing in full-scale production, we will test concepts through short-form content to gauge audience interest, engagement, and willingness to view longer episodes.

Cultural & Audience Insight - Ensure that content resonates with parents on a cultural and emotional level, with a special focus on the TR market. - Anticipate cross-cultural interpretations, humor, and sensitivities. - Maintain relevance to real parent conversations, not just marketing narratives.

Relevant Experience - You have created and managed long-form YouTube content (8-20+ minutes) that is episodic and story-driven, with clear hooks and satisfying conclusions. - You have successfully repurposed long-form content into short-form trailers or teasers that effectively drove traffic back to YouTube. - You have tested content ideas using only short-form media (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) before moving to full-length episodes, and can provide evidence of your decision-making process. - You have a deep understanding of YouTube’s organic metrics (CTR, retention, AVD) and short-form metrics (completion rate, shares, comments), and how they interrelate.

Key Responsibilities - Prioritize YouTube: Start with the long-form episode, using short-form content to support it. - Test rapidly: Utilize short-form content to validate concepts before committing to full-length episodes. - Own the creative vision: From the title and thumbnail to the final frame of each episode. - Collaborate with production teams but retain responsibility for viral instincts and audience psychology. - Analyze performance across both formats and iterate swiftly.

Requirements Must-have Qualifications - A portfolio showcasing long-form YouTube content you have conceptualized (including retention, CTR, or growth data if available). - Proven success in driving traffic from short-form content to long-form episodes (with required examples). - A thorough understanding of TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts as acquisition tools, not standalone entertainment. - A passion for hooks, pacing, cliffhangers, and satisfying conclusions. - A strong interest in parenting, family dynamics, or narratives involving children.

Experience - Leadership experience in video projects from concept to final delivery. - Experience with family, parenting, or children’s content. - Basic editing or thumbnail design skills. - Experience launching a YouTube channel (or other social media platforms) from scratch. - C1 level English proficiency.

What We Offer - The chance to work in an innovative and rapidly growing edtech company. - A creative and collaborative work environment. - Extensive professional development and leadership growth opportunities. - The opportunity to significantly impact the lives of young learners worldwide. - 100% remote work. - Unlimited vacation time. - Bonuses and stock options.
