The Role

Every piece of content COTH publishes is someones first encounter with the gospel. A 30-second video might be the thing that stops someone mid-scroll and starts them on a path toward building a real relationship with God. You are the person who makes sure that moment hits as hard as it possibly can.

You are the quality filter between our editors and our audience. You review every short-form video before it goes live and give specific tactical feedback that elevates it. Not this needs work. You tell the editor exactly what to fix: the hook is too slow the text placement blocks the subject at 0:03 the punchline lands at :42 but retention drops at :35 so move it up. Your eye for detail has a direct line to someones spiritual life. Prove yourself on short-form and this role expands into long-form video review with increased comp.

What Youll Own

• Review 40 short-form videos/month in with timestamped specific feedback on hooks pacing storytelling text placement audio and scroll-stop moments. 90% of your time is here.

• Manage your review queue within two-week sprint cycles ensuring every video gets 1-2 revision rounds before publish

• Track content performance across TikTok Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts and translate data into actionable recommendations (this hook style averages 2x the retention of our standard openings lets use it more)

• Surface 2-3 new format or content ideas per month based on whats trending in short-form across platforms (not just faith content any viral mechanics COTH can adapt)

• Collaborate directly with editors and Devin via Discord and ClickUp to keep feedback loops tight and deadlines hit

• Have direct access to platform analytics and a seat in monthly content strategy sessions so your feedback is always data-informed

  
  

Who You Are

• You care about the mission. You understand that a well-edited 30-second video isnt just content. It might be the reason someone opens a Bible for the first time.

• You think in retention curves not vibes. When you watch a video you instinctively clock why the hook works (or doesnt) where attention drops and what would fix it.

• Youre obsessed with short-form content across platforms not just faith content. You study whats working everywhere and reverse-engineer why.

• You manage yourself. You dont need someone checking your queue. You track your own deadlines flag problems early and keep things moving without being asked.

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)
Objective 1: Own the Review Process

• Complete your first full sprint cycle (20 video reviews with revisions) within first 14 days

• Hit 100% on-time review completion across all sprint cycles by Day 30

• Establish a personal review workflow and feedback template reviewed and approved by Devin by Day 21

Objective 2: Make the Content Better

• Baseline our average view count in Week 1. Target a 15% increase in average views per video by Day 90.

• At least 3 videos where your feedback demonstrably changed the final edit outperform our 30-day rolling average by 25%

Objective 3: Start Thinking Ahead

• Deliver at least 2 new format or content ideas per month starting Month 2 with a brief explanation of why you think theyll work and examples from other creators

• Identify and document COTHs top 5 highest-performing short-form content patterns (hooks formats topics) by Day 45
  
  

This Role Is NOT For You If:

• You give vague feedback. Make it more engaging is not a note. The hook needs to create an open loop in the first 1.5 seconds. Try leading with the conflict instead of the setup is a note.

• Youve never reviewed content for a creator or brand where your feedback directly changed what got published.

• You consume short-form content casually but cant explain why a specific video went viral at a granular level (hook structure retention curve scroll-stop trigger audio choice).

• You miss deadlines. Sprint cycles are non-negotiable. If you cant manage 40 reviews in two weeks consistently this isnt the right fit.

• You need to be managed closely. Youll get direction from Devin but day-to-day you need to own your queue and flag problems before anyone asks.

• Your background is primarily in written content social media management or graphic design not video-specific review. Adjacent experience does not qualify.
  
  

Non-Negotiable Requirements

• 3 years in content strategy content review or editorial roles specifically for video at a creator brand or media company. Youve either grown your own video pages to a significant audience or worked for a major content creator/company where you directly contributed to measurable video growth.

• You MUST provide proof. A portfolio case study or analytics screenshots showing specific content decisions you made and the results they drove. I helped grow the channel with no numbers will be immediately passed over.

• Deep fluency in short-form video mechanics: hooks retention pacing platform-specific algorithm behavior across TikTok Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts

• Experience giving direct timestamped creative feedback to video editors with measurable results

• Proficiency with (or similar review tools) ClickUp and Discord

• Strong written communication. Your application is your first audition. If it contains typos vague language or reads like it was generated by AI with no personal voice it will not advance.
  
  

Compensation

$2500/month (contract 20-25 hours/month)

Bonus: $75 per video that crossesviews on any single platform (TikTok Instagram or YouTube whichever hits first; does not stack across platforms for the same video).

Compensation increases when the role expands to include long-form video review.
