Comedy writer and production coordinator

YouTube is the new television. And digital creators on Youtube are actively shaping the conversation around major industries like technology. 

A well-known technology-focused comedic YouTube creator (think MyTechCEO - https://www.instagram.com/mytechceo/ or Programmers Are Also Human - https://www.youtube.com/@programmersarealsohuman5909) is looking for a talented, funny, and self-driven writer and production coordinator. This is an opportunity for a talented person from a traditional film/TV background to join a fast-growing and dynamic team at the cutting edge of content. We are responding to and helping to influence a technology industry that is evolving incredibly fast while touching every area of our lives. 

We want someone who can help us:

• Identify interesting headlines and trends within technology and understand the potential for comedy
• Write jokes and dialogue that work for a YouTube audience
• Research technology companies and brands to evaluate if their products are good and whether we should work with them
• Create visual assets for videos - ie, what screen or video or UI should appear on screen when we are talking about a product or workflow?

The perfect candidate:

• Well-informed about the latest in the technology industry
• Technically curious but not a technical writer. You can research engineering terms or industry jargon and come out with a clear story — but don’t need to be able to write code
• Funny - for both a technical and general audience
• Self-directed - we can give you an idea and you will come back with a fully formed opinion and tangible next steps
• Experienced in writing and producing their own content
• Has strong editorial taste

Come join a team of creators and filmmakers who are shaping the conversation around technology in and outside the industry.

Work details:

• $30-50 per hour depending on candidate’s experience level
• Work will start as project based with the mutual expectation to grow into a full time role over time
• Remote with potential opportunities for on-set work
