WHAT YOU’LL DO
Watch lots of our previous YouTube videos, read our old scripts and study our training materials.
Write 2 long-form video scripts per month, starting from a single video idea. Scripts should seamlessly transition between Jamie's in-studio A-plot and Adam's in-the-wild B-plot, and follow advanced storytelling techniques.
Research Youtube, specifically our niche and competitor channels, to identify trending topics to pitch us as upcoming video ideas.
Work within our smooth, fully-remote workflow: Organized assets, clear feedback, quick turnarounds.

Proven experience in scriptwriting, especially for long-form video content on YouTube.
Ability to take initiative with minimal guidance, while also being open to feedback and revisions.
NICE EXTRAS
Familiarity with the Aquarium Info channel and its unique voice.
A genuine passion for animals, maker culture, science-y rabbit holes or aquascaping.
PAY & FLOW
USD $750-$1,500 per video (based on experience & project complexity).
Remote, flexible schedule with an expectation to create 2 x 2,500 word scripts per month.
Ability to navigate shifting deadlines and product delivery schedules.
HOW TO APPLY
Send 2–3 scriptwriting samples you've written (YouTube links to videos produced from your scripts is preferred).
Bonus: shout-out a channel you think nails storytelling and why.
