Summary

We’re looking for a skilled script writer for our Health & Nutrition YouTube channel. The ideal candidate is a strong storyteller who knows how to write engaging, retention-focused YouTube content that keeps viewers watching. Scripts should feel natural, conversational, and human, never robotic or AI-generated. You’ll be writing video scripts ranging from 10–20 minutes (approximately 1,500–4,000 words) focused on fitness, nutrition, wellness and healthy aging for older adults. Responsibilities include researching topics, incorporating practical and credible health tips, creating compelling hooks, and structuring scripts for strong pacing and watch time. You’ll also collaborate closely with our content team, including the voice actor and video editor, to help bring each video to life. Experience writing YouTube scripts in health, wellness, nutrition, or longevity is a strong plus. Opportunity for ongoing work based on strong initial performance. Please share relevant writing samples with your application. Availability for video interview during the hiring process is required to assess fit and alignment. We look forward to hearing from you!
