We're hiring two people for this role: one Content Manager for Short-Form (Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) and one for YouTube (long-form). Both work the same way; the tracks differ in platform and in a few duties, listed below. Tell us which track you're applying for, or both.
About us
We are two brands in Dubai real estate. Forever Estates is a real estate advisory and brokerage for international investors, built on a YouTube-first content strategy. Patron is a mortgage brokerage for expats buying a home in the UAE. Content is how most of our clients find us, so this role sits at the centre of the business.
The role
You run our content pipeline across both brands, from spotting what works to a published, tested video. You own the process: every piece moves through research, scripting, filming, editing and publishing on time, and everyone knows what to do next.
What you'll do (both tracks)
Research and ideas
- Build and maintain a list of creators, channels and research tools worth tracking on your platform
- Go through them regularly, collect what outperforms, and write down the core idea behind it and how it could work for our brands
- Turn this into a ranked list of ideas
Planning
- Present ideas to the Founder & CEO, who picks the topics
- Prepare for and join alignment calls with our external growth partners, and document what was agreed
- Brief our research team on what to analyse for each topic, and track it until it's ready
- Write the first draft of the script once research is done
Production
- After filming, organise footage in our folder structure
- Assign editors and brief them clearly: format, script, key facts, footage and references
- Review the edits against the brief and give timestamped feedback, then bring the pre-final cut to the Founder for approval
- Occasionally: book a camera operator, check property availability with agents, and schedule shoot days
Keeping things running
- Keep every Notion board and Dropbox folder up to date
- Manage the editor pool: deadlines, chasing, trials, onboarding new editors and invoice tracking
- Use the weekly performance reports to spot what to double down on
Short-Form track
- Research Instagram and short-form creators: the concept, the hook that worked, the core idea
- Align with our Instagram growth partner
- Find our champion reels, get approval to repurpose or remake them, and get the new versions edited
- Post new reels as Instagram trial reels, then schedule the winners
- Read retention and skip data on each test, and propose what to cut, change or test next
- Write captions following our captions guide
YouTube track
- Research YouTube channels: titles, thumbnails, intros, concepts and formats
- Align with our YouTube strategist
- Brief our thumbnail designer, manage revisions, and get final approval
- Prepare the full upload package: title, description, chapters, tracking links, QR codes and lead magnet
- Upload and schedule videos on YouTube
- Watch YouTube strategy content and bring your own ideas
Who we're looking for
There's no fixed experience requirement. You could be early in your career, with no formal experience but very structured and a strong researcher, or someone with experience in a creative agency, a marketing agency, any marketing function or a related field.
What matters:
- You're highly organised. Deadlines, folders and boards stay under control without anyone reminding you
- You're a good researcher, and you can explain why a piece of content worked, not just that it did
- You follow up. You chase people politely and relentlessly until things get done
- You're fluent in English
- You're curious about content and willing to learn analytics, editing feedback and packaging on the job
- Short-Form plus: you live on Instagram and have a feel for hooks and what makes people stop scrolling
- YouTube plus: you watch a lot of YouTube and notice why some titles and thumbnails get the click
How you'll work
- You report directly to the Founder & CEO
- You own the process, not the final creative call. The Founder & CEO approves topics, pre-final cuts and anything involving budget
- You can approve edit fixes, captions, scheduling slots and editor deadlines yourself
- The two Content Managers work side by side and share editors, research and processes
The details
- Two positions: Short-Form and YouTube
- Full-time or part-time, we're open to both
- Location: remote
- Compensation: depends on seniority
How to apply
Fill in the application form and tell us which track you're interested in: short-form, long-form, or both. Shortlisted candidates get a short test task based on real work.
