Scriptwriter

We're looking for a Scriptwriter for our YouTube team, someone who thinks in stories, not just sentences. You'll research destinations, understand what viewers are searching for, and turn that intent into clear, engaging scripts across travel guides, ticket explainers, and short-form videos.

This is a search-first writing role where you'll own the process from research and hooks to scripting and performance-led refinement, creating useful, compelling videos that help people decide what to book and continue driving discovery long after publication.

Responsibilities:

• Research destinations and understand what viewers are searching for.
• Turn audience intent into clear, engaging scripts for travel guides, ticket explainers, and short-form videos.
• Own the scripting process from research and hooks to scripting and performance-led refinement.
• Create travel content that answers real questions people have while planning a trip.
• Write useful, compelling videos designed to rank on YouTube search and drive long-term discovery.
• Use insights such as views, click-through rates (CTR), and audience retention to improve future scripts.
• Work closely with a lean, high-context team to build clear, original, and useful storytelling.

Requirements:

• Strong writing skills and an instinct for storytelling, with the ability to turn complex or scattered information into clear, engaging, and genuinely useful scripts.
• Strong research instincts, including the ability to dig into a topic quickly, identify reliable sources, fact-check details, and uncover useful information that generic guides might miss.
• An ear for video storytelling and comfort writing tight, conversational, spoken-not-written scripts that hook viewers early and work naturally alongside visuals.
• An understanding of audience intent, with the curiosity to figure out what viewers are trying to learn or decide and translate that into relevant, engaging content.
• Ownership and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple scripts on tight timelines, incorporate feedback, and care about a video's success beyond the first draft.
• Comfort collaborating with AI tools to accelerate research and drafting while maintaining factual accuracy, originality, and editorial judgement.

Nice To Have:

• Familiarity with YouTube, SEO, or how search-driven content ranks.
• A sense for visual storytelling and how a script translates into an engaging video.
• An interest in travel, destinations, and helping people make informed decisions about what to experience.
