ABOUT NARRATIVE
Narrative is a content agency that helps influential educational creators and entrepreneurs scale their channels. We work with creators, founders, and industry experts who need scripts that actually keep viewers watching and engaged.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
We're looking for a YouTube Scriptwriter who can craft compelling, retention-focused scripts for educational and thought leadership content.

This is an opportunity to write content that reaches thousands of viewers while helping creators build their businesses through video.

Collaborate with strategists: Work with our YouTube strategy team to align scripts with growth objectives and audience needs
Adapt to creator voices: Capture and enhance each creator's authentic speaking style and personality
Optimize for performance: Structure scripts for YouTube's algorithm while maintaining natural flow

Know YouTube best practices for hooks, pacing, and calls-to-action
