Hiring: Freelance YouTube Scriptwriter (remote)
We make long-form YouTube videos for business founders, and we're looking for a writer who knows how to keep viewers watching.
You'll get the title, thumbnail and hook from our strategist. Your job is to write the outline or full script that delivers on them.
12-16 scripts a month to start, growing to 24
Remote, with daily overlap with Southeast Asia hours
You're a fit if you:
have written long-form YouTube scripts (not blogs or short-form)
write hooks that pay off the title
write the way people actually talk
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
