JOB SUMMARY We are looking for a professional YouTube On-Camera Host to join our team on a long-term basis. JOB DETAILS • Niche: Business Documentaries • Video Volume: Up to 3 videos per week (typically 1–2 videos per week) • On-Camera Segment Length: 1–2 minutes per video • Turnaround Time: 24 hours per video • Job Duration: Long-term partnership (1+ year) with a host who has both experience and passion for business, economics, corporate history, and documentary-style content JOB DESCRIPTION Hey there! Thanks for checking out our job post. We are looking for an experienced on-camera presenter to become the face and voice of our growing YouTube business documentary channel.

The ability to deliver scripts naturally, professionally, and with authority Unlike many YouTube channels that continuously cut back to the host throughout the video, we only require the presenter to appear during the opening 1–2 minutes. After the introduction, the remainder of the video will consist of B-roll, graphics, charts, screenshots, and supporting footage while narration continues using a professionally cloned version of the host’s voice through ElevenLabs.
