Role
Create YouTube scripts that transform healthcare expertise into videos patients actually choose to watch.
You'll write for doctors, surgeons, dentists and other health professionals, taking their expertise, perspectives and source material and turning it into compelling 6 to 10-minute YouTube videos that educate, build trust and keep viewers watching.
You won't be responsible for leading client strategy or conducting expert interviews. You'll be given the core ingredients for each video, including the topic, angle, source material and practitioner insights.
Your job is to turn those ingredients into an excellent script.
This isn't blogging, SEO writing or summarizing information into video format. You need to understand what makes someone click, what keeps them watching, when to reveal information, what to cut and how to make complex health information sound natural when spoken.
We need someone who writes for the ear, not the eye.
Every sentence should make the next sentence easier to keep listening to.
Engagement Type: Independent Contractor
This is a long-term contractor opportunity with a substantial and consistent workload. We expect this to be a significant professional commitment, although we're open to both full-time and part-time arrangements for the right person.
As an independent contractor, you'll determine when and where you work and manage your own schedule. This role does not include employee benefits.
We care about the quality and consistency of your work, your ability to meet agreed-upon deadlines, and your responsiveness to the team, not the specific hours you keep. You'll need to be available for occasional scheduled team meetings, but outside of those commitments, you'll have flexibility in how you structure your work.

Responsibilities
Script Writing
Write 6 to 10 minute YouTube outlines & scripts that:
Hook the viewer quickly
Create a clear bridge between the title and opening
Maintain curiosity with open loops and delayed reveals

Identify the strongest ideas and insights
Understand the practitioner's actual perspective
Pull out useful examples, stories and explanations
Verify unfamiliar concepts when necessary
Distinguish genuinely interesting information from background information
Preserve medical accuracy while simplifying complexity
You should be comfortable entering an unfamiliar health topic and getting up to speed quickly.

Edit ruthlessly for:
Repetition
Obvious statements
Weak examples
Unnecessary context
Jargon
Filler
Tangents
Awkward transitions
Overexplaining
Anything that slows the video down without adding understanding or interest
You should be able to look at a mediocre draft, quickly identify why it isn't working and make it substantially better.

You'll be expected to:
Receive and implement editorial feedback
Explain your writing decisions when needed
Flag weak source material, missing information or problems with an assigned angle
Ask questions rather than inventing information

Requirements
Exceptional Conversational Writing
You naturally write the way people speak.
Your scripts sound effortless when read aloud and can be adapted to reflect different clients' personalities and speaking styles.
You understand that a technically correct sentence can still sound unnatural when spoken.
Strong Healthcare Background
You have meaningful experience writing about, working in or communicating health and medical topics.
You don't need to be a clinician, but medical terminology and complex health concepts shouldn't intimidate you.
YouTube Writing Instincts
You understand that YouTube writing is fundamentally different from articles, blogs or traditional educational content.
You understand:
Viewer psychology
Hooks
Curiosity gaps
Open loops
Pacing
Escalating stakes
Delayed reveals
The secret code is HP2026
Payoffs
The relationship between a title and the opening of a video
You know when to answer a question and when to hold information long enough to maintain interest without becoming manipulative or frustrating.
Editorial Judgment
You can tell the difference between writing that is technically fine and writing that is actually compelling.
When reviewing a script, you naturally notice things like:
The opening takes too long to get to the point
The script doesn't properly deliver on the title An answer is revealed too early A section repeats something the viewer already understands You don't need someone else to point these things out before you see them.
AI Fluency and Editorial Control You use AI to accelerate research, ideation, organization and early drafts without outsourcing your judgment to it.
You know how to direct, challenge and refine AI-generated work.
Every final script must feel original, specific, conversational and human.
You are able to identify and remove common signs of weak AI-generated writing, including:
Generic phrasing Predictable sentence patterns Information that sounds important but says very little AI may support the process. It cannot replace thinking.
