Summary

Medical Content Researcher & Copywriter The Role We're a growing ecommerce brand building out educational health content — think Dr. Berg, or any of the doctor/health-creator accounts dominating YouTube and TikTok right now. We need someone who can take complicated medical or physiological topics and explain them so simply that anyone can understand them, while still sounding credible and authoritative. This role is part researcher, part copywriter. You'll be responsible for finding studies, emerging research, ingredient science, and trending health topics/problems, and turning them into weekly content ideas — not just writing from a brief. We'll also bring you ideas and topics directly, but a big part of this role is you sourcing them yourself. What We Need You'll research and write scripts/copy across three formats: Short-form (Reels/TikTok, 30–90 sec) — educational hooks on health topics like hormones, sleep, and gut health. Needs a scroll-stopping text hook in the first line, a curiosity-driven spoken hook in the first 3 seconds, and a structure built to hold retention to the end (pattern interrupts, open loops, payoff). Long-form (YouTube, 3–10 min) — the "doctor explains" format: credible, educational, and easy to follow from start to finish. Written content — advertorials and articles in the same simple, educational voice. The core skill we're hiring for: finding legitimate studies/information and turning it into something a total beginner can understand, without losing credibility. What to Send Please share: Direct links (max 2–3, don't send a folder) to previous medical/health educational content you've written — short-form scripts, long-form YouTube scripts, or advertorials/articles If you've written this kind of content for an ecommerce/DTC brand, flag that specifically and link to it If you have data on how the content performed (watch time, retention, CTR, conversion), include it — results matter more than polish An example of how you'd turn a study or piece of research into a content idea (a topic + a one-line hook is enough) A Few Questions to Answer in Your Proposal How much content can you deliver per week (e.g., number of scripts/articles)? What's your current capacity/availability? What's your rate per 60 seconds of finished video script? Would you be open to a monthly retainer, and if so, what would that look like?
