- Apply YouTube‑native best practices, including packaging, thumbnails, pacing, retention strategies, end screens, playlists, and metadata optimization.
- Experiment with new formats and storytelling techniques tailored to YouTube audiences.
- Collaborate across NASCAR’s social, marketing, editorial, and production teams to plan shoots and capture content at races, events, and off‑track features.
- Travel to races/events to film dynamic content that authentically brings the NASCAR experience to life.
- Manage multiple concurrent projects while ensuring high production quality, on-time delivery, and creative alignment with NASCAR’s brand voice.
- Stay current on digital trends, YouTube platform updates, and audience behaviors to help evolve NASCAR’s overall video strategy.
- Travel: 30%, including weekends during race seasons.
Required skills/experience:
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
