[Hiring] YouTube Strategist & Scriptwriter @Impact Clients

Role Description

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.

Richard turned a $500 digital product into an 8-figure online education company. He now teaches other people how to build online businesses, documenting the journey as he goes. The brand is impact-driven, scaling fast, and aiming to become one of the most influential voices in business education.

What you'd actually do day to day:

• Roughly 50% ideation, 30% scripting, 20% QC.
• Ideation: Generate a lot of concepts to find the few that are great: angles, titles, formats. Filter hard using a proven process.
• Scripting: Write four scripts a week—three for the main business channel and one for the AI-avatar channel.
• QC: Take the first two passes on each edit, providing timestamped notes to the editors.
• Work directly with the Head of YouTube, the editing team, and the thumbnail designer, with a weekly 1:1 to pressure-test your reads.

Qualifications

• You've written long-form YouTube scripts that performed, and you can explain why they performed.
• You can reverse-engineer a video from any channel, analyzing the hook, open loops, and audience retention.
• You watch YouTube like an operator and have opinions about packaging.
• You genuinely like writing, including hooks, structure, and sentence-level work.
• You can hit volume without dropping quality and take editorial notes without friction.
• You write English at a native or near-native level.
• You can overlap at least 4 hours a day with US Eastern business hours.

Requirements

• Experience writing for AI-avatar or faceless channels (bonus).
• Direct-response background: VSLs, emails, ads, webinars (bonus).
• Editing literacy that allows your QC notes to communicate effectively with editors (bonus).
• Familiarity with outlier-hunting tools like 1of10 or VidIQ (bonus).

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.
• The range is negotiable and depends on what you bring.
• Open to higher tiers for exceptional writers, with opportunities for internal promotion.
• Remote work from anywhere, as long as the overlap works.

• Zoom with the Head of YouTube
• Paid script test, from your own ideation
