Remote YouTube Scriptwriter wanted (entrepreneurship, business strategy, etc.) | $50 to $100 per hour

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: CRAIG HEWITT

Deadline: 23 May 2025

We are seeking an experienced YouTube Scriptwriter to join our team and play a pivotal role in shaping our YT presence. You will be responsible for crafting compelling, insightful, and engaging scripts for our weekly YouTube videos. These videos primarily feature our CEO in a "talking head" format, delivering actionable advice and thought leadership directly to our target audience of founders. The goal of the channel is to establish the CEO in a thought leadership capacity, to grow his 1-on-1 and group Founder coaching services.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help translate powerful coaching concepts into accessible video content that resonates deeply with entrepreneurs seeking growth.

You'll work closely with our CEO/content team to create scripts that not only educate but also inspire action.

While initially a part-time role focused on one script per week, there is significant potential for this position to evolve into a full-time role as our content strategy expands.

YouTube is THE channel through which we'll grow our business, and want you to be a huge part of that growth.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with the CEO and content team to brainstorm and refine video topics aligned with our coaching philosophy and audience needs.

• Conduct research on relevant topics, founder challenges, and business scaling strategies to ensure depth and accuracy.

• Write clear, concise, engaging, and well-structured scripts (approx. 10-20 mins final video length) for weekly YouTube videos.

• Craft compelling hooks to capture viewer attention immediately and maintain engagement throughout the video.

• Translate complex business and coaching concepts into simple, understandable, and actionable advice for founders.

• Develop logical flows for each script, ensuring a strong narrative arc and clear takeaways.

• Integrate subtle storytelling elements where appropriate to connect with the audience on a deeper level.

• Ensure all scripts align perfectly with our brand voice: professional, insightful, empathetic, and results-oriented.

• Incorporate effective calls-to-action (CTAs) relevant to the video topic and our business goals.

• Revise and refine scripts based on feedback from the CEO/content team.

• Demonstrate an understanding of content styles similar to established business thought leaders like Dan Martell (focused on SaaS, scaling) or Rob Walling (focused on bootstrapped/independent founders), adapting similar principles of value delivery and founder empathy to our unique voice.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE:

• Experienced Scriptwriter: You have a minimum of 3 years of professional experience specifically writing scripts for YouTube or similar video platforms.

• Niche Expertise: You have demonstrable experience writing content within the coaching, consulting, business strategy, entrepreneurship, or thought leadership space. You get the world of founders.

• Proven Portfolio: You possess a strong portfolio showcasing high-quality video scripts (preferably talking-head style) that demonstrate clarity, engagement, and results.

• Audience Understanding: You have a deep understanding of the unique challenges, aspirations, and language of founders and CEOs looking to scale their businesses and leadership skills.

• Exceptional Writer: You have outstanding writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with meticulous attention to detail and grammar.

• Translator: You excel at taking complex ideas or expert knowledge and simplifying them into accessible, actionable content without losing substance.

• YouTube Native: You understand the nuances of writing for the YouTube platform – pacing, hooks, retention techniques, CTAs, and basic principles of discoverability.

• Collaborative & Independent: You are comfortable collaborating closely with stakeholders for briefs and feedback but can work independently and manage your time effectively to meet weekly deadlines.

• Professional & Reliable: You are organized, communicative, and committed to delivering high-quality work consistently.

• Alignment: You resonate with the goal of helping founders become better leaders, build successful businesses, and improve their well-being.

BONUS POINTS:

• Experience working directly with Founders, coaches, or consultants.

• Familiarity with content frameworks used by B2B thought leaders.

• Basic understanding of the video production process.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• A chance to make a significant impact by shaping the voice and content of a growing CEO coaching brand.

• Direct collaboration with the CEO and involvement in content strategy.

• Flexible, remote work arrangement.

• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience for a part-time workload

• Strong potential for growth into a full-time position as our channel and content needs expand.
