The Opportunity:
We’re looking for a YouTube Scriptwriter who can craft compelling, retention-focused scripts for educational and thought leadership content. You’ll start by working with one of our successful clients – a professional development expert with over 150k subscribers – with the potential to join full-time and work with the other creators and entrepreneurs we work with.
This is an opportunity to write content that reaches thousands of viewers while helping creators build their businesses through video.

- Adapt to creator voices: Capture and enhance each creator’s authentic speaking style and personality
- Optimize for performance: Structure scripts for YouTube’s algorithm while maintaining natural flow
- Handle multiple content types: Educational breakdowns, interviews, solo content, and guest conversations
- Iterate based on feedback: Use performance data and client input to continuously improve script quality

- Understand what keeps viewers watching and how to structure content for retention
- Can capture authentic voices while improving clarity and engagement
- Know YouTube best practices for hooks, pacing, and calls-to-action
- Can work collaboratively with creators, strategists, and production teams
- Are comfortable adapting writing style for different creators and audiences
- Bonus: Experience with business/professional development content or working in the creator economy
Why This Role Matters:
You’ll be working with creators and founders who need to:
- Turn their expertise into compelling, watchable content
- Build authority and trust with their audiences
- Drive real business results through their YouTube presence
- Stand out in increasingly crowded content landscapes
Your scripts become the foundation that turns great ideas into great videos.
