Most kids’ content on YouTube is designed to keep kids watching at any cost. We want to make something that inspires them to go play!

Pok Pok is building a current kind of YouTube channel for kids: low-stimulation, imaginative, beautifully made content designed to spark creativity rather than endless consumption. We’re looking for an experienced Channel Producer to help us bring that vision to life.

About Pok Pok

Pok Pok is on a mission to raise the next generation of creative thinkers.

We’re the team behind the Apple Design Award-winning Montessori app, Pok Pok, and were named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025. Our award-winning digital toys and videos empower children to think outside the box, dream big, and explore their creativity in a mindful way. We believe screen time can be thoughtful, educational, and just as imaginative as the toys we grew up playing with on the floors of our living rooms.

Pok Pok is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage people of all races, religions, genders, abilities and sexual orientations to apply. We want the products we develop to reflect the diversity of the world we live in, and it starts with our own team.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly organized, hands-on Channel Producer to own the day-to-day production engine behind Pok Pok’s YouTube channel. You’ll be the person who takes a creative idea and figures out how to actually make it happen from script to shoot to edit to final delivery.

This role sits at the centre of our creative team, working closely with our Director, Writer, Editor and broader Pok Pok team to keep productions moving, solve problems before they become problems, and make sure great ideas turn into great videos.

You should be equally comfortable building a production plan, coordinating a shoot, giving an editor what they need, and picking up a camera yourself.





This is a full-time role with a crucial in-person component—you must be able to work from our downtown Toronto studio regularly as recording schedules require.

What You’ll Do:

- Own the end-to-end production pipeline for Pok Pok’s YouTube content, from pre-production through final delivery
- Act as the central point of communication between the Director, Writer, Editor and other collaborators
- Translate scripts and creative concepts into transparent, actionable production plans, schedules and beat sheets
- Plan and coordinate shoots, including logistics, equipment, locations, talent and production needs
- Keep timelines on track and make sure handoffs between each stage of production are smooth
- Manage footage, files, edits, revisions and approvals so nothing gets lost in the process
- Create simple, effective systems for production tracking, feedback and asset management
- Support shoots with basic camera work and other hands-on production needs
- Collaborate closely with the creative team on what we make and how we make it
- Continuously improve our production process as the channel grows

You Are:

- Educated or highly experienced in video content production
- Experienced in producing video content from concept through completion
- Exceptionally organized and naturally think a few steps ahead without being asked
- Proactive and comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting for direction
- A clear, thoughtful and kind communicator




- Know how to keep creative projects moving without killing the creativity—a big one!
- Comfortable managing lots of moving pieces, people and deadlines at once
- Outstanding at working with editors, directors, writers and other creative collaborators
- Familiar with basic camera and on-set production skills
- Well-versed in YouTube production—or are excited to learn it deeply, quickly.
- A person who actually cares about making genuinely great content for kids

Bonus Points if You Have:

- Experience producing for YouTube
- Experience working in the children’s entertainment, education or media industry
- Experience working on a fast-moving creative team

Other awesome things about this role:

- You'll have the unique opportunity to build, grow and make your mark joining a fast-growing start-up early on.
- Work from our beautiful brick-and-beam office in the downtown core within walking distance to the Eaton Centre, St. Lawrence Market and Union Station
- Flexible hybrid working arrangements.
- 3 weeks of paid vacation, plus a 2-week holiday office closure, because life outside of work matters!
- Competitive compensation, including employee stock options and health benefits.
- We love field trips, playtesting with kids in our community, toy research, science centres and museums. We have no fun at all.
