We're hiring: Content CreatorFull-Time · Remote · US or Canada

Yes. The role is fully remote, but you need to live in the US or Canada and be legally authorized to work there.

This is a full-time employment position, not a freelance or contractor role.

Since Metics Media is based in Switzerland, we work with an Employer of Record (EOR) to employ our team members in the US and Canada. This means you'll have a regular employment contract through a local employment provider, including payroll, benefits, and standard employee protections, while working directly with our team at Metics Media.

We expect our content creators to work full-time, Monday through Friday, for 8 hours per day. However, you're free to structure your own workday and decide when you start and finish, as long as you attend our weekly team meeting.

We currently aim for an average of one video per week. However, there's no strict quota, as some videos require more research and preparation than others. Our priority is always producing high-quality content rather than simply hitting a certain number of videos.

Video topics will be assigned by our Creative Director. However, we absolutely welcome your input! You can let us know which topics or tools you're particularly interested in or have experience with, and we'll do our best to take your interests, preferences, and strengths into account when assigning projects.

Previous experience creating YouTube videos is a big plus, especially if you understand what makes a video successful on the platform. However, it's not a strict requirement.

We have an extensive library of training videos and provide ongoing coaching and feedback to help you develop your skills. So you're not expected to know everything from day one. What's most important is that you're a fast learner, comfortable on camera, and able to explain complex topics in a clear and engaging way.

Not at all! Most of our videos are designed for beginners, and you'll often be learning a new tool yourself before creating a video about it. In fact, approaching a tool with fresh eyes can help you better understand the challenges beginners face.

What's most important is your ability to learn new software quickly and explain it in a clear, engaging way. Of course, having a strong technical background is always a plus!

You should be comfortable with basic video editing, such as making cuts, adding simple effects, and using AI tools to speed up the editing process. You don't need advanced skills in motion graphics or animation, as we have an in-house video editor who handles most of our editing work.

However, we do want our creators to be capable of editing their own videos when needed, as this allows us to publish content more quickly. We'll also teach you the editing workflows and processes we've developed to make this as efficient as possible.

Having your own equipment is a plus, but not required. If you don't already have suitable recording equipment, we can cover the upfront cost of the equipment you need. The cost will then be deducted from your future bonus payments until it's fully covered.

This means you won't have to pay anything out of pocket, and the equipment will be yours to keep.

You do need a quiet, dedicated workspace with room to set up a small studio for recording talking-head videos, and an internet connection with at least 50 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload.

In addition to your guaranteed base salary, you'll receive a quarterly bonus based on a fixed percentage of the profit generated by your videos. This includes revenue from sponsorships, YouTube ads, and affiliate commissions.

If you're based in Canada, your bonus is calculated exactly the same way as for our US-based creators. The bonus amount is simply converted from USD to CAD and paid on top of your Canadian base salary.

The better your videos perform, the more you can earn!

To give you an idea of the earning potential, based on the performance of our current creators, average total compensation for a US-based creator would be around $85,000 USD in your first year and $155,000 USD in your second year, with our top-performing creator reaching $195,000 USD in their second year.

Of course, these numbers aren't guaranteed, as your actual earnings will depend on how well your videos perform. What is guaranteed is your annual base salary of $70,000 USD, or $80,000 CAD if you're based in Canada.

You'll receive 15 days of paid time off per year, in addition to public holidays and 10 sick days.

We also offer medical, dental, and vision coverage, and a 401(k) with employer contributions for US-based team members.

Since we want to give everyone enough time to apply and carefully review each application, it may take a few weeks before you hear from us. We'll get back to you whether or not you move forward, and you can always check our hiring status page to see when you can expect to hear back from us.

If you're selected to move forward, we'll invite you to complete a paid test project, where we'll ask you to create a video so we can get a better understanding of your skills and how you approach the video creation process. The test project is only for us to see how you work. We won't publish it or use it in any of our videos.

If that goes well, we'll invite you to an interview to get to know each other better and see if we're a good match.
