Who We Are

Melotech is revolutionizing media and entertainment. We create art through technology for humans to enjoy. In just 18 months, our work has been heard, watched and loved for over 2 billion minutes worldwide.

Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, we are backed by top VCs Cherry Ventures, Speed invest and GFC, alongside world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR.

As Head of Platform for You Tube, you'll be in charge of ensuring our success on the world’s leading video platform. Your mission is to scale our presence beyond 100x growth by mastering both the creative and the analytical side. You tackle the critical questions:
What’s the secret sauce behind a successful You Tube channel? How do we stay on top of changes to algorithms, topics and formats? And what is the scalable yet signature content that maximizes virality, watchtime and revenue? Working fully autonomously alongside our founder and the team, your answers to these questions will directly influence our company's success. On a typical day, your tasks may include:

• Managing our entire You Tube presence, including content strategy, visual identity, uploading process, audience engagement and performance management
• Crafting guidelines to viral titles, descriptions, and thumbnails optimized for discovery and performance
• Designing and executing A/B tests to continuously improve our content strategy and channel performance
• Researching emerging content formats and trends to identify gaps and develop new video formats
• Monitoring subscriber growth, watch time, and revenue while optimizing monetization strategies
• Analyzing You Tube Studio insights including retention curves, traffic sources, and CTR patterns
• Collaborating with marketing, engineering and content teams to amplify our strategy

You're a You Tube strategist with deep expertise in building and scaling channels within the platform. Your strength lies in mastering the complete landscape from channel architecture, over algorithmic optimization, to monetization and long‑term audience retention. You've successfully launched channels from zero, transformed underperforming accounts, and managed high‑subscriber properties while maintaining the creative integrity that separates viral fruitflies from sustainable presence.

Typically, your profile will look like this:

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience scaling You Tube channels for any consumer brand, record label, technology startup or media company or high‑impact experience at Tier 1 consultancies, Investment Banks, Big Tech companies, or fast‑scaling startups
• Proven track record of launching channels from zero and managing high‑subscriber properties with substantial revenue generation
• Expert proficiency in You Tube Studio analytics, algorithmic optimization, and complete monetization ecosystem
• Advanced skills in A/B testing, data analysis, and translating audience insights into actionable content strategies
• Self‑directed approach combining creative strategy with technical execution and relentless focus on scalable audience building
• You thrive in a fast‑paced and performance‑oriented environment
• Colleagues would describe you as hard‑working, ambitious and persistent
• You’re obsessed with music, video and social media

What makes this exciting:
You are one of the first employees of an ambitious team, changing the world of media and entertainment. Being early means every decision you make shapes our trajectory. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership.
