About Tom Sharman and The Content Operators

Tom Sharman is a UK content operator and founder of The Content Operators, based in Brighton. He builds the strategy, teams and systems that turn creators and entrepreneurs into media businesses. He has previously worked with Sam Stoffel, Ben Heath, Niko Omilana, The Burnt Chip and Secret Leaders, among others. He takes on a small number of clients, and the team works remotely: the editors already work across Pakistan and the Philippines.

Edit long-form YouTube videos for creator clients, with pacing and story that keep people watching. This is a talent pool role. Tom is always meeting good people, and work goes to the pool as clients need it.
