Links to YouTube channels you've written for. 2. The videos you're most proud of. 3. Your specific role on those videos. 4.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete a **paid test project** based on one of our existing scripts. We value quality over speed and are looking for someone who can become an integral part of the team.
