Experienced Youtube Strategist for Faceless Football Documentary Channel Growth

I am seeking a highly experienced YouTube strategist to partner with me in scaling a faceless football documentary YouTube channel. The channel produces long-form content (10-20 minutes per video), is currently monetized, and is in a growth phase with consistent publishing. Content is driven by narration, editing, and compelling storytelling, without an on-camera presenter. The target audience is English-speaking viewers globally.

I require a specialist with a proven track record in scaling faceless documentary or educational channels within competitive niches. This is not a generalist role; I need someone who has achieved specific, documented results on YouTube.

Key Responsibilities:
*  Editorial Planning: Develop a comprehensive content calendar based on in-depth trend analysis, search demand, and audience data. This includes topic selection using a universal appeal framework, moving beyond niche-limited subjects.
*  Deep Competitor Analysis: Conduct thorough analysis of successful faceless channels under 100K subscribers that consistently over-perform their audience size, identifying key strategies and patterns.
*  Advanced Analytics: Provide expert diagnosis of YouTube Studio analytics, including CTR diagnosis, retention mapping, impressions vs. Views patterns, and sophisticated interpretation of audience signals to inform strategic decisions.
*  Thumbnail and Title Strategy: Develop and implement an A/B testing framework for thumbnails and titles, defining an editorial style direction that maximizes click-through rates and audience engagement.
*  Channel Repositioning: Work to define a clear channel identity that the YouTube algorithm can consistently classify and recommend to the right audience.
*  Engagement Funnel Optimization: Strategize and optimize the entire viewer journey, from first impression to subscriber conversion and fostering loyal viewership.
*  Revenue Strategy: Advise on ad revenue optimization, strategic sponsorship positioning, and exploration of membership potential to maximize channel income.

Required Skills and Experience:
*  A strong portfolio showcasing faceless YouTube channels you have successfully grown, with documented results.
*  Exceptional ability to read and interpret YouTube Studio analytics, translating data into actionable, data-driven decisions.
*  Extensive experience specifically within the English-speaking YouTube market.
*  Fluency in English is essential, as all channel content and communication will be in English.
*  Possession of a strategic mindset combined with a creative sensibility, understanding that data informs 'what' to do, while creativity guides 'how' to execute effectively.
