YouTube Content Creator & Scriptwriter

About the Role

We are looking for a creative, hands-on YouTube Content Creator, Scriptwriter & Channel Growth Executive to help build a professional educational channel covering UK tax, wealth, property, international living and related financial topics.

The technical research, tax analysis and core subject matter will be supplied by an experienced Chartered Accountant and international tax specialist. The role is not to determine the tax answer. The role is to transform accurate technical material into content that people want to watch, click and return to.

The successful candidate should be able to take a potentially dry subject and turn it into a strong story using clear language, characters, dialogue, appropriate humour, visual explanation, compelling titles and thumbnails, and good YouTube pacing.

Main Responsibilities

Turn supplied technical notes and core ideas into engaging long-form YouTube scripts.

Create strong opening hooks and clear narrative structures.

Develop characters, dialogue, practical scenarios and recurring story formats.

Add intelligent and restrained humour without undermining professional credibility.

Plan how each video should look, including graphics, B-roll, animation, captions and other visual elements.

Edit videos or manage the editing process from raw material to finished episode.

Create high-quality thumbnail concepts and final thumbnails.

Write and test compelling video titles that are accurate and commercially effective.

Optimise descriptions, chapters, playlists and other YouTube metadata where useful.

Understand YouTube search intent and basic YouTube SEO, while recognising that recommendations, click-through rate and retention are also critical.

Use YouTube Studio and analytics to review click-through rate, audience retention, average view duration, traffic sources and performance by video.

Recommend changes when a video underperforms, including title, thumbnail, opening, pacing or structure.

Create Shorts and clips from longer videos where appropriate.

Maintain consistent channel branding, visual identity and recurring character treatment.

Use AI tools intelligently for brainstorming, scripting, storyboarding, images, video, voice and production support.

Use music, stock footage, images and AI-generated assets with appropriate copyright and licensing awareness.

Maintain an organised production pipeline, asset library and content calendar.

Essential Skills

Strong written English and creative writing ability.

Strong storytelling and scriptwriting skills.

Ability to write natural dialogue and create character-led scenarios.

Good instinct for humour and personality.

Ability to simplify technical ideas without changing their meaning.

Good understanding of long-form YouTube hooks, pacing and audience retention.

Good video editing and visual judgement.

Strong thumbnail and title-writing instincts.

Working understanding of YouTube SEO, discoverability and search intent.

Ability to interpret YouTube analytics and propose practical improvements.

Basic understanding of copyright, music and asset licensing.

Confidence with modern AI creative tools.

Ability to work independently and turn a brief into a finished piece of content.

Attention to detail and willingness to revise work after feedback.

Useful Experience

YouTube content creation or channel management.

Educational, documentary or explainer videos.

Creative scriptwriting, comedy writing or character-based content.

Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or CapCut.

After Effects, Canva, Photoshop or similar tools.

AI image, video or voice-generation tools.

YouTube Studio, thumbnail testing and analytics.

Content repurposing for Shorts or other social platforms.

What Is Not Required

A tax, accounting or financial qualification.

Independent tax research.

A particular university degree.

Corporate agency experience.

Ability, judgement and portfolio quality are more important than formal qualifications.

Application Requirements

CV.

Links to relevant videos, channels or creative work.

A short description of the candidate's own contribution to each example.

Completed screening questionnaire, including tool proficiency ratings, channel-growth skills and proposed production methodology.

Current salary expectation, notice period and UAE availability.

The trial will assess creative transformation, production quality, title and thumbnail judgement, and understanding of YouTube performance.

Salary: AED 5,000-7,000 per month, depending on ability, portfolio and practical assessment.
