YouTube Content Producer – Japan

The Role:

We’re looking for a YouTube-native content killer, someone who’s part video journalist, part creative producer, and 100% platform-fluent.

This isn’t brand marketing. It’s value-first storytelling made for YouTube. Think: content that people actually want to watch, like what you’d see from MKBHD, Casey Neistat, or other sharp, editorial-style creators — and then take that lens and apply it to Nothing’s unique blend of tech, design, and culture.

🔍 Who You Are:

• You get YouTube — deeply. You understand how the platform works, what drives engagement, and how to make content feel native (not like an ad).
• You’re a storyteller first: whether you’re hosting, producing, or directing, you know how to bring a compelling narrative to life.
• You’re Japan-based and totally in tune with the Japanese creator landscape — but also aware of global trends and how content travels across cultures.
• You’re a digital journalist at heart: curious, observant, and constantly digging for what’s interesting — whether it's a story angle, a product quirk, or a cultural moment.
• On-camera skills are a big plus, but not a deal-breaker. What matters most is your ability to shape and deliver stories — either as the face, or as the director behind the face.
• You care about aesthetics. You know how to make things look and feel cool without trying too hard. Style matters — especially to Gen Z.

🛠 What You’ll Do:

• Pitch and produce YouTube-native video ideas that reflect Nothing’s brand and values — bold, design-forward, culturally aware.
• Be the host or direct talent — depending on the idea — always keeping the story and the audience at the center.
• Write scripts, shape narratives, lead shoots, and deliver sharp, editorial-style content.
• Work across departments (creative, product, comms) to uncover stories that have organic resonance — not just brand priorities.
• Tap into the Japanese creator ecosystem and find unique angles that give the content a regional POV with global relevance.
• Build and grow the Nothing YouTube channel into a place of real value, creativity, and culture — not marketing fluff.

✅ Requirements:

• Experience as a YouTuber, video journalist, or content producer with strong storytelling and visual instincts.
• Solid grasp of YouTube strategy — titles, thumbnails, hooks, retention.
• Bilingual in Japanese and English — and confident navigating both cultures.
• Experience directing, scripting, and producing video content from end to end.
• On-camera experience a major plus.
• Passionate about tech, design, music, and fashion — and always plugged into what Gen Z cares about.
• Basic camera and editing skills — enough to shoot scrappy content solo when needed, and speak the language of editors and DPs.
• Ability to interpret performance data (views, retention, CTR, etc.) and use insights to refine content and drive growth — you're as comfortable looking at the YouTube Studio dashboard as you are in Premiere.

This is a creator-forward, journalistic approach to brand content.

We don’t do product videos. We do videos people want to watch. If you’re excited by that — and by shaping the voice of a global tech brand with culture in its DNA — we want to hear from you.
