About Teaching Socials

Teaching Socials is the leading consulting firm for personal brands in the finance & real estate sectors in the DACH region. Our team of 25 high-performers has built a consistent monthly growth of over €750,000 within 2 years. We combine visibility, customer acquisition, and business growth in one system – and with your videos, you ensure that ideas become reach, viewers become qualified leads, and personal brands become measurable results.

Your Tasks

• Content Strategy: You develop a content plan for the next few weeks for each client and derive a clear production plan for the editors from it.

• Ideas and Scripts: You find the topics, hooks, and titles for all main videos on YouTube and write the scripts yourself.

• Filming: You accompany shoots, understand camera, lighting, and sound, and pick up the camera yourself when necessary.

• Editing and Quality: You approve every video before it goes to the client. What's not good enough goes back.

• Editor Leadership: You lead the editing team, provide regular, concrete feedback, and make every editor measurably better.

• Short Form and Ads: You ensure that usable clips and ad creatives are created from every long-form video.

• Client Communication: You conduct weekly meetings with our clients, explain what is being produced and why, and defend your decisions even when the client thinks differently.

What's in it for you:

• Strong Team: Family-like environment, shared successes, and birthdays

• Fast Tracks: Your ideas are implemented internally instead of getting lost in endless decision loops

• Direct Impact: Your videos directly influence the reach, leads, and revenue of our clients

• Leadership: You lead your own editing team and shape how content is created here

• Growth: You work with various personal brands, formats, and target groups, continuously developing yourself as a creator and leader

What you bring to the table:

• Proven experience as a Content Creator, Video Producer, or Head of Content, ideally with a focus on YouTube long-form, short-form, and video ads

• A portfolio of videos you were responsible for, ideally with measurable results such as views, click-through rate, and audience retention

• In-depth understanding of what makes a video go viral: hook, title, thumbnail, storytelling, and retention

• Strong sense for ideas and scripts: You write YouTube scripts yourself that keep viewers engaged until the end

• High-level editing skills: long-form, short-form, and cinematic – ideally you are a creator yourself

• Proficiency with camera, lighting, and sound: You can film yourself

• Understanding of video ads and their role in the funnel and customer journey

• Proficiency with relevant metrics such as CTR, audience retention, views, and CPL

• Leadership experience: You manage multiple editors simultaneously, plan production, and provide feedback that improves your team

• Confident client communication: You conduct weekly meetings and defend your content decisions even with demanding entrepreneurs

• High standards: No video leaves your team that you don't stand behind yourself

• Proactiveness: You don't wait for instructions but bring your own ideas and trends

• Native-level German

• A plus: Experience with podcast and event shoots, as well as in-depth technical understanding (camera setups, equipment, workflows)

You're probably not a good fit for us if…

• you prefer to produce pretty pictures instead of videos that generate reach and demand

• you only want to edit and leave ideas, scripts, and strategy to others

• you rely on your gut feeling and ignore click-through rates, retention, and views

• you release videos that you don't stand behind yourself

• you copy trends from others instead of developing your own ideas and formats

• you take feedback personally or don't want to give clear feedback to your team

• you spend a long time on a single video but struggle to deliver in volume

• you see deadlines more as a recommendation

• you don't like telling clients clearly when something isn't working

• clear goals, numbers, and a performance-oriented environment rather deter you

• you are just looking for a job and are not willing to develop yourself professionally and personally
