Video Lead at Mercury overseeing YouTube strategy, production, and channel growth. Role combines editorial judgment with platform expertise to develop and scale high-quality video programming across formats.
In 1969, Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett co-launched Sesame Street with a then-radical idea: educational content didn’t have to be dry to be meaningful. Storytelling, visual craft, spirit, and warmth could all help shape how people learn.
We’re not making children’s television at Mercury, but we do believe that the founders, builders, and entrepreneurs who turn to us for context deserve content that’s truly useful, memorable, enjoyable — and just a little bit magical.
To that end, Mercury’s Stories team is looking for Video Lead to own and grow our YouTube presence. You’d join a creative team that makes multimedia content — from a magazine to research reports, tutorials to audio stories — exploring many facets of what it takes to build enduring companies.
In this role, you’ll lead channel strategy for YouTube, overseeing video production and shaping channel-native programming across long-form video, Shorts, recurring series, and emerging formats. You’ll combine strong editorial instincts with deep platform fluency to grow high-quality video programming without losing creative sharpness or brand integrity.
