Talent & Guest Outreach Manager (YouTube Channel)

About the Project
I run an English-language YouTube interview channel featuring long-form, in-depth conversations with interesting and influential people (entrepreneurs, creators, investors, thinkers, etc.). I’m looking for a proactive, creative Guest Manager who can help me secure great guests and grow the show.

Key Responsibilities

• Research & identify potential guests

  • Find relevant and exciting profiles for upcoming episodes (founders, experts, creators, public figures, etc.)

  • Keep a running list / pipeline of potential guests aligned with the show’s themes

• Outreach & communication

  • Craft and send personalised, compelling outreach messages (email, LinkedIn, Instagram, agents, PRs, assistants)

  • Follow up professionally and persistently until we get a clear yes/no

  • Represent the show in a confident, friendly, professional way

• Ideas & co-creation

  • Suggest new guest ideas and angles for episodes

  • Brainstorm together which guests would fit specific topics or storylines

  • Help prioritise who we should go after first

• Coordination

  • Schedule interviews (time zones, availability, formats – in-person/online)

  • Make sure guests have all the necessary information before the recording

  • Keep everything organised in a simple tracking system (Notion/Google Sheets)

Requirements

• Strong English – ideally native speaker or C1 level

• Excellent written communication skills: you know how to write short, sharp, engaging outreach messages

• Experience in at least one of the following:

  • PR, comms, influencer marketing, sales, or similar outreach-heavy role

• Naturally persistent: you know how to follow up without being annoying

• High level of emotional intelligence – you can “feel” how to approach different types of people

• Organised and reliable: you can keep track of multiple conversations and follow-ups

What I’m Looking For in a Person

• Creative – finds non-obvious ways to reach people

• Resourceful – doesn’t give up after “no response”, tries alternative angles and contacts

• Idea-driven – not just executing, but also bringing their own suggestions on who we should invite

• Goal-oriented – if I say “I want THIS guest”, you treat it as a mission and do everything possible to get through to them
