• Propose 3–5 video ideas weekly for review.

• Draft scripts using our internal
  Scripting Manual
  (training provided).
• Collaborate with the founder to fine-tune the hook, pacing, and structure for retention.

4. Editing & Retention Review

• Edit 2 high-quality YouTube videos per week, following our in-house visual and pacing formula.

• Experience with graphic design or thumbnail creation (Photoshop, Canva, etc.).

What we offer

• Work with a UK brand that's already achieving real traction (500k+ monthly views).
• Full-time, stable employment — not a freelance gig.
