Job description

Role

Create YouTube content that transforms healthcare expertise into videos patients actually choose to watch.


You'll work directly with doctors, surgeons, dentists and other health experts to uncover what makes them different, identify the questions their patients are actually asking, and turn decades of expertise into compelling YouTube content that educates, builds trust and grows their practice.


This isn't blogging, SEO writing or simply turning articles into video scripts. It's equal parts content strategy, audience psychology, packaging and storytelling.


Before writing a script, you'll identify the strongest topics, develop titles and thumbnail concepts that earn attention, and ensure every video serves a clear strategic purpose within the client's channel.


We need someone who writes for the ear, not the eye. Every sentence should make the next sentence impossible not to hear.


Results


1. Clients become known for something

Every client develops a clear positioning strategy and focused content ecosystem rather than publishing random health tips.

2. Every script earns attention

Scripts consistently create curiosity, tension and retention while remaining medically accurate.


3. Clients sound like themselves

Every script feels authentic to the doctor's voice rather than sounding like it came from ChatGPT or a generic copywriter.


4. Videos support channel strategy

Every video strengthens the broader content plan, builds topical authority and serves a strategic purpose.


5. Clients feel confident on camera

Clients understand why each topic exists and feel excited to record it.

Responsibilities

Content Strategy

  • Identify high leverage content opportunities
  • Develop channel positioning
  • Build playlist strategies
  • Identify audience awareness levels
  • Prioritize topics that support business goals
  • Help clients niche down where appropriate
  • Recommend content sequencing

Packaging

Develop titles, hooks and thumbnail copy before writing.

Think through:

  • Why would someone click?
  • What question are they trying to answer?
  • What tension exists?
  • What assumption are we challenging?
  • What curiosity gap are we creating?
  • What promise are we making?

Script Writing

Write 7 to 12 minute YouTube outlines & scripts that:

  • Hook immediately
  • Maintain curiosity with open loops
  • Explain complex medical topics simply
  • Apply direct-response thinking to educational content, structuring ideas for momentum, comprehension, and action
  • Sound conversational
  • Feel natural when spoken
  • Avoid unnecessary jargon
  • Keep viewers watching

Research

Research:

  • Medical literature
  • Competing videos
  • Patient language
  • Market awareness
  • Common objections
  • Search intent
  • Healthcare trends

...while remaining grounded in evidence.


Client Collaboration

Lead strategy conversations with clients.

Interview them.

Challenge assumptions.

Extract stories.

Refine positioning.

Gain buy in around channel direction.

Coach clients toward stronger content decisions.


Continuous Improvement

Review video performance.

Identify patterns.

Refine future topics.

Improve packaging.

Improve retention.

Improve scripts based on viewer behavior.

This is not a role for someone who simply writes scripts. It's a role for someone who can identify what is genuinely interesting, package it in a way that earns attention, and then write a script that keeps viewers watching.


Requirements


Must Have:


Strong Healthcare Background

You have significant experience working in, writing about or communicating complex health topics.


You understand medical terminology, conventional and natural health perspectives, patient concerns and the importance of accurate, evidence-based communication.


Relevant backgrounds may include:

  • Healthcare marketing
  • Medical or scientific writing
  • Experience as a clinician or health practitioner
  • Patient education
  • Ghostwriting for health experts
  • Medical communications
  • Healthcare journalism
  • Experience interviewing subject matter experts
  • Experience working with physicians, practices or healthcare brands


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.


Strategic and Editorial Judgment

You do not simply complete the assigned topic.

You ask:

  • Should we make this video?
  • Is this genuinely interesting?
  • Is the angle strong enough?
  • Is the topic meaningfully different from what we have already published?
  • Is the information useful or merely obvious?
  • Does this idea support the client's broader positioning?

You can identify the strongest idea, remove what does not belong and build the video around one clear promise.


Audience and Packaging Instincts

You understand the difference between the topic, the intended viewer and the packaging used to attract that viewer.

You can identify:

  • Who the video is for
  • Their level of awareness
  • What they already understand
  • What they are worried about
  • What they are curious about
  • What would make them click
  • What promise the video must fulfill

You ensure that the title, thumbnail, opening hook and actual content remain aligned.


Retention and Storytelling Instincts

You understand how to unfold information rather than dump it all at once.

You can use:

  • Curiosity gaps
  • Open loops
  • Escalating stakes
  • Pacing
  • Tension
  • Pattern interruptions
  • Delayed reveals
  • Payoffs

You know when to answer a question and when to hold the answer long enough to keep the viewer engaged without becoming manipulative or frustrating.


Ability to Simplify Complexity

You can quickly understand complicated subjects, identify what matters most to the intended viewer and explain it in clear, conversational language without oversimplifying or introducing inaccuracies.


Research and Interviewing Skills

You are comfortable entering unfamiliar areas of health, researching them responsibly and asking experts detailed questions until you truly understand their perspective.

You know the difference between gathering information and uncovering what is actually interesting.


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:

  • Repetition
  • Generic phrasing
  • Unnecessary summaries
  • False drama
  • Awkward transitions
  • Overexplaining
  • Bloated lists
  • Predictable sentence patterns
  • Confusing or imprecise word choices
  • Information that sounds important but says very little

AI may support the process. It cannot replace thinking.


Ruthless Editing

You understand that strong writing is often created by removing more than you add.

You instinctively eliminate:

  • Repetition
  • Obvious statements
  • Weak examples
  • Unnecessary context
  • Jargon
  • Filler
  • Tangents
  • Anything that does not advance the argument, deepen the viewer's understanding or create interest in what comes next


Client-Facing Communication

You are comfortable leading conversations with accomplished health professionals.

You can listen carefully, ask challenging questions, explain strategic decisions, respond professionally to feedback and respectfully push back when a client's preferred direction is unlikely to work.

You build confidence without becoming passive or overly agreeable.


Relevant Backgrounds and Preferred Experience

YouTube

  • Deep understanding of YouTube as a platform, including packaging, viewer psychology, retention, audience expectations and what earns attention in educational content.
  • Experience developing YouTube content strategies, playlists, titles and thumbnail concepts.
  • Experience reviewing channel analytics and using performance data to improve future content.


Direct Response & Marketing

  • Understands direct response principles and knows how to apply them to YouTube without making videos feel like advertisements.
  • Experience with direct response copywriting, funnels or VSLs.

Storytelling & Content

  • Journalism
  • Documentary writing
  • Podcast production
  • Educational content
  • Content marketing
  • Behavioral psychology

What Great Looks Like

A great Content Strategist and YouTube Script Writer:

  • Thinks like a strategist before thinking like a writer.
  • Identifies what patients want to know before writing what the expert wants to say.
  • Knows the difference between technically informative and genuinely interesting.
  • Creates curiosity without relying on misleading clickbait.
  • The secret code is HP2026
  • Treats the topic, title, thumbnail, hook and script as one connected idea.
  • Writes specifically for the viewer's level of awareness.
  • Builds and unfolds ideas rather than giving away the entire answer immediately.
  • Makes complex health concepts clear without making them inaccurate.
  • Helps clients discover and strengthen their positioning.
  • Pushes back when a topic, angle or explanation is unlikely to perform.
  • Writes for spoken delivery rather than written prose.
  • Uses AI intelligently but never passes off unedited AI output as completed work.
  • Balances scientific credibility, client voice and viewer retention.
  • Learns from analytics and becomes more effective over time.
