• Fast-paced, high-energy writing style that outshines industry competition and keeps audiences hooked.

• Experience in multiple formats, including challenge videos, cinematic narratives, skits, scripted shows, and story-driven content.

• Ability to write in various tones, from comedic and lighthearted to suspenseful and dramatic.

• A deep understanding of YouTube trends and what makes content viral.

• Strong research skills to ensure factual accuracy, engaging storytelling, and trend integration.

• Quick adaptability to revisions and tight deadlines.

Job Requirements

• Experience: 1-5 years in scriptwriting for YouTube, TV, or digital media.

• Writing Skills: Exceptional dialogue, pacing, and story structuring that drive viewer retention.

• Technical Skills: Familiarity with scriptwriting software like Final Draft, Celtx, or Google Docs.

• Soft Skills: Creativity, collaboration, adaptability, and quick turnaround time.

• Availability: This is a project-based role, with potential for long-term collaboration. Candidates must be able to work under deadlines and deliver high-quality scripts efficiently.
