Youtube Storytelling Scriptwriter
We are looking for a YouTube scriptwriter to craft engaging, thought-provoking, and well-researched scripts for solo episodes on Karak with Mahreen, a platform that explores South Asian culture, identity, personal growth, and societal norms.
The ideal candidate will be responsible for researching and writing 15-minute solo episode scripts that are compelling, data-driven, and conversation-starting. Topics will cover a range of cultural and social issues relevant to South Asians and South Asian expats.
For example, one upcoming episode will explore:
➡️ The Truth Behind the Perfect Indian & Pakistani Marriages – examining why South Asian countries have some of the lowest divorce rates in the world, yet this does not necessarily indicate happier marriages. The script should incorporate strong stats, historical/cultural analysis, and fresh insights to challenge conventional beliefs.
Ideal Candidate:
✅ Strong research skills – ability to find and incorporate relevant statistics, historical context, and cultural analysis
✅ Experience writing engaging and structured scripts for YouTube or similar formats
✅ Ability to present complex topics in a clear, accessible, and engaging way
✅ Interest in South Asian culture, identity, and societal norms
✅ A conversational, yet insightful and thought-provoking writing style
Job Requirements:
✔️ Proven experience in viral YouTube scriptwriting
✔️ Ability to deliver well-researched and structured 15-minute (on average) scripts
✔️ Strong grasp of storytelling, pacing, and audience engagement
✔️ Excellent command of English and a natural, conversational tone
✔️ Ability to meet deadlines and incorporate feedback when needed
