YouTube Scriptwriter

Employment Type: Full time, independent contractor

Work Model: Remote

Work Hours: US business hours

A growing YouTube channel focused on retirement planning is looking for a scriptwriter to research and write videos that give viewers clear, well-researched guidance.

About the role

You will turn assigned topics into full, well-researched video scripts written in the host’s voice, along with title options, and you will review videos as they come together. The content is data-heavy, so accuracy and clear sourcing matter as much as how the script reads. You will work from a voice guide, a scripting guide, and team feedback, and over time you will help shape the topic list as well.

Required Qualifications

Excellent written English, with scripts that sound natural and engaging to a US audience (English does not need to be your first language)
Detail-oriented researcher who enjoys digging into numbers and data and cites sources for every fact
Reliable: you commit to deadlines and tell the team before a deadline slips, not after
Genuine interest in personal finance and retirement planning (expert level is not required)
Uses AI tools as part of your process, while reviewing and improving the output yourself rather than submitting it as is
Communicates clearly and speaks up when you need information or direction
Available for full-time work (40 hours per week)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience writing scripts for YouTube
Background in finance or retirement planning
A marketing mindset: you think about how a video turns a viewer into a client

Responsibilities

Research and write full video scripts in the host’s voice
Propose title options for each video
Review videos as they are produced
Verify figures and facts, and cite sources for the data used in each script
Use AI tools in your research and drafting, then edit the results yourself
Work from a voice guide and a scripting guide, and apply feedback from the team
Track work on a shared Notion video board and collaborate with an operations lead
Start from topics the team provides, then contribute your own video ideas over time

Who thrives in this role

Curious by nature, the kind of person who follows a number back to its source
Patient enough to rework a script until it sounds like the host
Able to turn complicated money topics into plain, watchable language
Comfortable taking direction on tone and style
