Responsibilities

• You'll ideate and write the videos Richard reads on camera: starting at four scripts a week across two channels, for an audience that's already there.
• This is a creative role with a research backbone. You're not taking briefs and filling them in. You bring the idea, you defend it, you write it.
• Roughly 50% ideation, 30% scripting, 20% QC.
• Ideation. You'll generate a lot of concepts to find the few that are great: angles, titles, formats. Then filter hard. We have a proven process and we'll teach it to you. What we can't teach is the instinct underneath it: knowing why a video worked, feeling when a format is fatiguing, spotting an outlier on someone else's channel and understanding what's actually transferable.
• Scripting. Four a week. Three for the main business channel, one for our AI-avatar channel. Our method is systematic, not vibes. We study what's already working, extract the psychological framework doing the heavy lifting, and retrofit it to our own audience and offers.
• QC. You'll take the first two passes on each edit. Did the hook land, did the pacing hold, did the retention structure survive? Timestamped notes to the editors. The final pass stays with the Head of YouTube. It's the simplest part of the job, and it's yours because the person who wrote the script is the person who notices when the edit lost the plot. Long-form for now; short-form QC will likely fold in as that output scales.

Requirements

• You've written long-form YouTube scripts that performed, and you can explain why they performed. Send the links and the numbers.
• You can hand us a video from any channel and reverse-engineer it out loud: what the hook is doing, where the open loops sit, why the audience stayed.
• You watch YouTube like an operator. You have opinions about packaging. You notice when a channel changes format, and you have a theory about why.
• You genuinely like writing. Hooks, structure, the sentence-level work. It's the part you'd do anyway.
• You can hit volume without dropping quality, and you take editorial notes without friction.
• You write English at a native or near-native level. This is copywriting for a US audience; the voice has to be seamless.
• You can overlap at least 4 hours a day with US Eastern business hours, wherever you're based.

Preferred

• Experience writing for AI-avatar or faceless channels
• Direct-response background: VSLs, emails, ads, webinars
• Enough editing literacy that your QC notes speak the editors' language
• Familiarity with outlier-hunting tools like 1of10 or VidIQ

Benefits

• $2,000–$5,000 USD/month OTO, full-time contractor, paid as a monthly base plus a performance component tied to how your videos actually do. Mechanics get walked through on the call.
• The range is negotiable and depends on what you bring. The top of it is real: it's where a strong performer lands, not a number we put in a posting.
• Open to higher tiers for exceptional writers, and we promote internally. We've moved people from entry level to C-suite level inside this company.
• Remote, from anywhere, as long as the overlap works. We care about output, not time zone.
