Why is this an exciting opportunity?
We
currently get over 15 million views per month across our YouTube
channels, and are looking to 10x that to 150 million monthly views over
the next few years. Ubongo’s YouTube channels aim to educate and
entertain kids in their own languages, telling stories that they can
relate to with characters who they look like. Our viewers come from
across the globe. We regularly receive testimonies from parents of our
YouTube audience saying how much their kids are learning, and how
grateful they are to have found representative content!
As the
Ubongo YouTube Manager, you will have direct reach into the lives of
millions of kids in Africa and across the world. You will make decisions
about how we grow the platform to reach as many kids as possible as
well as what content we share, in order to ensure key learning outcomes
that kids can harness to improve their lives.
What does this look like day-to-day?
Daily
tasks of the YouTube Manager will include setting the upload schedules
for our YouTube channels, handling video uploads and setting of video
metadata. As well as this, the YouTube Manager will set up new channels
and maintain existing channels. The YouTube Manager will also analyse
the analytics coming out of the channels to monitor channel/video
performance. There will also be some research and experimentation
required as you look into how best we can increase reach, engagement and
revenue on our channels.
You will also regularly hold
strategy-setting calls across the digital, production, business and
adaptation teams, making decisions that affect the way we use YouTube
from the top down.
