**Job Title: Head of Content Research**

**Salary:** $2,000 – $3,000+ USD/month (flexible for top-tier talent)

**Working Hours:** Monday to Friday, 9–5 EST

**About the Role**

A high-performing creator-operator building across three integrated businesses:

- A fast-growing personal brand producing short-form (Instagram, TikTok) and long-form (YouTube) content focused on tech, AI, and business
- An education business teaching founders how to scale content, workflows, and monetization
- A proprietary SaaS platform that analyzes content trends across platforms using transcripts, hooks, and outlier performance data

This is a highly data-driven, fast-moving environment where content is treated as a performance engine, not just output.

The team already includes editors, offshore support, and tools but lacks a **true content strategist/researcher** who can surface high-quality, non-obvious insights that directly shape content direction.

**The Opportunity**

This is not a typical “social media” role.

We’re looking for a **senior content thinker**, someone who understands *why* content works, not just how to post it.

You’ll act as the **insight engine** behind the brand, identifying trends, patterns, and opportunities that can immediately be turned into high-performing content.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Continuously scan YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms for emerging trends
- Use internal and external research to identify **non-obvious, data-backed content patterns**
- Analyze hooks, formats, storytelling styles, pacing, and topic trends
- Aggregate and present **3–5 high-quality insights at a time**, including: - Supporting examples (links, creators, formats) - Clear rationale (why it works) - Data-backed validation (outlier performance, cross-platform trends)
- Combine: - Open discovery (new trends, zeitgeist) - Structured analysis (data exports, transcripts, analytics)
- Leverage tools like ChatGPT/Claude to synthesize and validate insights
- Deliver insights that are: - Interesting - Non-obvious - Immediately actionable

**What “Great” Looks Like**

- You can spot patterns in 1–2 hours that others would miss entirely
- Your insights feel sharp, original, and defensible
- You think like a content strategist for top creators or agencies
- You don’t wait for direction — you define what matters

**Ideal Candidate Profile**

- Experience as: - Content Strategist for a major creator, brand, or agency - OR deeply embedded in high-performance content ecosystems
- Strong analytical mindset, comfortable working with data, trends, and pattern recognition
- Experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for research and synthesis
- Deep understanding of: - Virality mechanics - Hooks and retention - Storytelling formats across platforms
- Ability to independently define what’s working, not rely on surface-level metrics

**Tech Stack**

- Proprietary content research platform
- ChatGPT / Claude
- YouTube, Instagram, TikTok
- Data exports (CSV analysis, transcripts, metadata)

**Working Style**

- Full-time role
- Must have strong EST overlap
- High autonomy, high standards
- Output-driven (not task-driven)
