Job Description & How to Apply Below

Codie Sanchez is hiring a Senior You Tube Long-Form Writer who knows how to turn business ideas into high-retention You Tube scripts. This is not a generalist writing role.

This is for someone who understands You Tube as a distribution engine, business, and entrepreneurship, and telling powerful stories that connect.

You will write 10–25 minute You Tube scripts focused on:

  • Buying businesses
  • Investing
  • Cash flow
  • Acquisitions
  • Wealth frameworks
  • Contrarian takes on money, work, and ownership

You must have You Tube credentials. Not just “I like You Tube,” but proof that you’ve written long-form content that:

  • Holds attention
  • Drives comments
  • Builds authority
  • Converts viewers into believers

You’ll work directly with our in-house You Tube team and Founder/CEO to help shape some of the most-watched business content on You Tube.

If you need weeks to “find the vibe,” this isn’t for you.

If you think in hooks, retention curves, and story beats, let’s talk.

What You’ll Actually Do

If you worked here this month, you might have:

  • Written a 15-minute You Tube script breaking down why boring businesses outperform tech startups
  • Turned a small acquisition into a narrative case study that holds audience retention
  • Built a repeatable framework viewers reference in the comments
  • Rewritten a script five times to sharpen the first 30 seconds
  • Partnered with editors to improve pacing, payoff, and watch time
Key Responsibilities

You Tube Long-Form Writing

  • Write high-retention You Tube scripts (10–25 minutes) with strong hooks, clear arcs, and memorable frameworks
  • Structure content for watch time, not essays
  • Bring data-backed ideas to the table and continuously work to evolve the channel

Business Storytelling

  • Translate complex topics like acquisitions, finance, ownership into stories people understand, connect with and can apply in their own lives and businesses

Audience & Retention Thinking

  • Write with an understanding of pacing, curiosity gaps, and psychological pull
  • Obsess over the first 30 seconds and the roadmap that tells the story

Voice & Authority

  • Write in a tone that is sharp, contrarian, intelligent, and earned
  • Help evolve our You Tube voice as the channel scales

Speed & Execution

  • Move fast. Hit deadlines. Improve through iteration
  • Treat feedback as fuel, not friction
Required Qualifications

This role is not entry-level.

You should have:

  • Proven experience writing long-form You Tube scripts (links required)
  • A strong business mindset and interest / knowledge of startups, finance, or SMB ownership
  • Clear understanding of You Tube retention, hooks, and structure
  • Exceptional storytelling instincts
  • Ability to simplify complex ideas without dumbing them down
Bonus points if you’ve written for:
  • A large You Tube channel
  • A business or finance creator
  • A high-growth media brand
