Our team comes from places like WIRED, Vogue, Mini Katana (18M+ subs), and other iconic YouTube brands. (Learn more about Ryan’s journey here!)
Now we’re looking for a freelance Casting Producer to help us find the right people to bring our videos to life.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking a Casting Producer who knows how to find compelling business leaders, industry experts, founders, and insiders for interview-driven, non-fiction YouTube formats. This role is critical to the success of our videos. The right cast does not just support the story, they are the story.
You will be responsible for identifying credible, articulate, and engaging subjects who can carry a video, offer real insight, and connect with a YouTube audience. You will partner closely with producers and creative strategists to ensure casting aligns with the creative thesis, format, and audience expectations.
This is a freelance role with opportunities for ongoing work across multiple channels and clients.
What You’ll Do
Source and cast experts including founders, executives, operators, creators, and industry insiders across business, tech, culture, and adjacent verticals
Conduct deep research to uncover people with genuine credibility, unique perspectives, and strong on-camera presence
Own outreach and pre-interviews to assess storytelling ability, clarity of thought, comfort on camera, and point of view
Partner with producers and creative strategists to align casting choices with the format, narrative, and audience goals
Manage casting pipelines end to end, including availability tracking, follow-ups, and clear communication with talent
Build and maintain a strong bench of trusted experts and recurring talent we can return to for future projects
Flag risks early and help solve for gaps in casting with creative, scrappy solutions
Who You Are
3+ years of experience in casting, booking, research, or talent production for non-fiction, documentary, or interview-driven content
Strong instincts for who will actually work on YouTube, not just who looks impressive on paper
Comfortable sourcing cold, reaching out directly, and earning trust quickly
Highly organized, proactive, and clear in written and verbal communication
Experienced working on digital or YouTube projects with fast timelines and idea-driven formats
Collaborative and low-ego, excited to work closely with producers, strategists, and editors
Bonus if you have experience casting business, tech, or expert-led content
Compensation
Freelance role with compensation structured as a project or weekly rate, depending on experience and scope.
