What You'll Do
Receive title and thumbnail concepts or creative briefs, run them through our internal AI creative system, and generate up to 500 raw concept directions per video
Filter those directions down to the strongest 50–100 using deep knowledge of the channel's format history, YouTube-first principles, challenge mechanics, performance metrics and audience behavior
Develop the strongest candidates into fully pitchable video concepts: frameworks, challenge structure, elimination mechanics, key visual moments, and emotional payoff
Present and verbally defend your selections in live weekly pitch sessions with senior creative leadership
Work multiple concepts simultaneously at different stages of development, cycling them through feedback and revision until greenlit for production
Document into decks what you generated and why you discarded it — your filtering logic is as important as your final selections
Build and maintain a living library of challenge mechanics, elimination formats, and visual bit templates the broader creative team can reference
Monitor trends in YouTube format and challenge design to bring outside references into the development process
Leverage data & analytics in retention and trends to inform the best creative for the largest global audience in the world
What You'll Bring
Required
You've worked on a YouTube channel, in a creator studio, or in a content operation where output volume was high and audience response was fast and measurable. You've seen the feedback loop between a creative call and an audience reacting to it.
Deep, demonstrated familiarity with MrBeast's content catalog — format history, challenge mechanics, elimination structures, and what has and has not worked on the channel.
Active daily use of AI tools (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or equivalent) as a genuine part of how you already work — must be able to show the work, not just describe it.
Strong editorial judgment: ability to evaluate hundreds of ideas rapidly, identify the handful worth pursuing, and explain the reasoning without ambiguity.
Live pitching ability: must be able to present and verbally defend creative selections in a high-stakes environment with senior stakeholders.
Preferred
Background in game design, competition format development, or puzzle construction — fields where tension, fairness, and payoff are explicit design problems
Experience in any creative role requiring rapid curation of large volumes of raw material under deadline
Ability to speak in depth about specific MrBeast format patterns
The base compensation ranges from $75,000– $150,000, plus 10% annual bonus, plus an employee equity plan grant and comprehensive benefits.
