Job description

ABOUT AIRRACK
Airrack is one of the fastest-growing channels on YouTube, built on high-energy stunts, viral challenges, and record-breaking moments. We're a lean, scrappy team that punches way above our weight — and the people behind the camera are just as important as what ends up on screen. We move fast, think creatively, and hold ourselves to an insanely high bar. If you've ever watched one of our videos and thought "I want to be part of that" — this is your shot.

THE ROLE

Reporting to the Head of Operations, you'll own full-cycle recruiting for roles across content, production, and business operations. You'll work directly with department leads to find people who thrive in fast-moving, high-creativity environments — and who genuinely care about what we're building.

This role is for someone who understands that the right hire can change everything, and who takes that responsibility seriously.

  • Partner with hiring managers to define what great actually looks like for each role
  • Run tight, efficient processes without sacrificing quality

  • A track record of finding and closing strong candidates for creative and operational roles
  • Sourcing instincts that go beyond job boards
  • Comfort with ambiguity — roles evolve, priorities shift, and you don't freeze up
  • Strong read on people: talent, culture fit, and potential matter more to you than résumé pedigree
  • Clear communicator, strong closer, genuine team player
  • You actually watch YouTube. You understand the creator economy. You care about this space.
