YouTube Strategist & Scriptwriter (Business Niche, USD 2-5k/month)

Responsibilities

• What you'd actually do day to day 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.
• Scripting. Four a week. Three for the main business channel, one for our AI-avatar channel.
• 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.
• You'll work directly with the Head of YouTube, the editing team, and the thumbnail designer, with a weekly 1:1 to pressure-test your reads.
• What you'd be measured on Median views per video, how many outliers we produce per quarter, and retention. Not hours logged. Your performance pay is tied to the same numbers, so we're reading the same scoreboard you are.
• You've written long-form YouTube scripts that performed, and you can explain why they performed.
• 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.

Requirements

• Read this first You'd be writing at least four scripts a week for a channel that already works.
• 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.
• You've written long-form YouTube scripts that performed, and you can explain why they performed.
• 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.

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
