| Aspect | Trainee Film Script Writer | Assistant Screenwriter |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Basic writing skills, often pursuing or holding a related degree | Similar, often with some industry experience or training |

Job description
Description:
Are you obsessed with YouTube storytelling, pacing, and audience retention?
Do you analyze thumbnails, study why videos perform, and constantly think about better hooks, stronger jokes, or more engaging edits?
The Spy Ninjas Animation Team is looking for a YouTube Writer / Editor to help create highly engaging animated content for a massive global audience.
This role is ideal for someone who understands YouTube culture and wants to build content specifically for a YouTube audience — not traditional film, TV, or commercial media.
You’ll work closely with a creative team to develop ideas, write scripts, shape edits, improve pacing, and help create videos people genuinely want to click on and watch all the way through.
What You’ll Do- Write engaging YouTube-focused scripts and storylines
- Help brainstorm video concepts, hooks, and episode structures
- Edit videos with strong pacing, comedic timing, and retention awareness
- Collaborate on thumbnail direction and click-through optimization
- Improve content through audience-focused storytelling and performance thinking
- Work closely with the animation and creative teams throughout production
- Stay current on YouTube trends, audience behavior, and platform best practices
- Continuously identify ways to improve viewer engagement and watch time
- People who genuinely love YouTube and internet content culture
- Writers and editors who think in terms of retention, pacing, and audience psychology
- Creatives who naturally pitch ideas, jokes, titles, hooks, and formats
- Team players who enjoy collaboration and fast-paced creative environments
- Self-starters who can manage projects remotely and communicate clearly
- People who want to build a long-term career creating digital content
- Strong experience in video editing and/or YouTube writing
- Strong understanding of YouTube pacing, storytelling, and audience engagement
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere or similar editing software
- Ability to take feedback and iterate quickly
- Strong creative instincts and problem-solving ability
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Comfortable working remotely in a fast-moving environment
- Experience editing YouTube-first content
- Experience writing for YouTube audiences
- Understanding of thumbnails, CTR, and retention strategy
- Experience working with animation pipelines or animated content
- Photoshop or thumbnail design experience
- Familiarity with serialized storytelling or recurring formats
- 100% remote work- Preferably located in Nevada, Texas, Colorado or Ohio
To be considered, please include:
- Examples of videos you have edited
- Writing samples or script examples
- Thumbnail samples or examples of thumbnail work you contributed to
- Links to any YouTube content you have worked on
We are specifically looking for candidates who understand YouTube content made for YouTube audiences.
What You’ll Get- The opportunity to create content viewed by millions worldwide
- Experience working with a large-scale YouTube brand
- A highly collaborative creative environment
- Portfolio-building projects with real audience reach
- The chance to help shape the future of a growing animation team
- 401(k) with company match
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off
- Professional development assistance
