As YouTube Channel Manager at Animaj, you’ll help build the next global kids’ franchise. Your mission: turn our IPs into worldwide YouTube hits through smart strategy, great storytelling, and a deep understanding of what kids love.

You’ll own the channel end to end - from planning and publishing to creative presentation and performance analysis. Every thumbnail, title, and playlist you optimise helps make our content a fun and trusted part of children’s everyday entertainment and content discovery.

You’ll dive into data and competitive insights to refine our approach, shape content strategy, and guide programming and marketing decisions.

Based in London, but collaborating closely with our team in Paris, you’ll join an international team driven by one goal: to inspire and entertain kids everywhere through meaningful, high-quality content.
