About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Long-Form Scriptwriting & Storytelling: Concept and architect complete scripts for episodic YouTube series, full workflow tutorials, and scripted branded entertainment assets. Develop tight pacing, clear story arcs, and natural dialogue that keeps viewers engaged.
Voice & Tone Execution: Adopt and protect our client’s brand voice—confident, cultured, direct, and trustworthy. Write scripts that feel like an authentic human peer or mentor.
Hands-On Production & Collaboration: Actively participate in physical productions, walkthrough captures, and live editing sessions. Work directly with Art Directors, Designers, Videographers, Editors, and Creator Partners throughout the process to ensure content clarity.
Platform-Native Packaging: Apply rigorous platform SEO and formatting rules for YouTube. Script compelling video hooks, optimize long-form context descriptions, and format metadata utilizing clear spacing and concise, helpful context tags.
Collaborative Concepting: Collaborate on structural series treatment ideas (such as formatting tutorials into repeatable episodic franchises) to build a destination that professional creators subscribe to and share.
Presentation & Critique: Confidently present narrative decks, scripts, and conceptual outlines to internal stakeholders and client leads. Iterate and adapt creative frameworks swiftly based on structural or brand feedback.

Background scripting or designing highly technical demos, feature walkthroughs, or modern app software tutorials.
Previous client campaign experience with highly aesthetic, design-centric or technology-first brands (e.g., TikTok, Adobe, Google, Higgsfield, Apple, etc.).
