About Sandeep & The Company

This is an opportunity to help build one of the defining media companies of the AI era. Sandeep Swadia is building a next-generation education and media platform at the intersection of AI, business, learning, productivity, and human performance. While YouTube is the current engine of growth, the vision extends far beyond a single channel—books, podcasts, strategic partnerships, original IP, and a global media brand reaching millions of ambitious professionals all over the world.

The business is entering a period of extraordinary acceleration. In fewer than seven months, the flagship YouTube channel (@SandeepSwadia) has surpassed one million subscribers and continues to add 3,000 - 5,000 more every day. Behind the scenes, the company has built an exceptional foundation: global representation with CAA, a major publishing deal, significant capital resources, an expanding executive team, premium media opportunities, and an ambitious roadmap for expansion across every major platform.

Sandeep's own story is as remarkable as the company he's building. From a homeless teenager and monk-in-training, to MIT, Wall Street, CEO, investor, and advisor to companies that have created more than $10 billion in enterprise value, he has spent his career helping leaders build at the highest level. Today, he is translating that experience into a media company delivering elite frameworks, strategies, and mental models that help ambitious professionals thrive in the age of AI.

For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to build something category-defining from the ground floor—with the backing, resources, ambition, and runway to pursue an extraordinarily large vision.

Role Overview

We are looking for a freelance Scriptwriter who can take strong video concepts, build deeply researched outlines, and then turn them into complete watchable long-form YouTube scripts. This role may develop into a full-time position over time. The right candidate is first and foremost an excellent writer and researcher. They should have strong judgment, strong storytelling instincts, and the ability to make complex ideas feel clear, human, useful, and engaging. They should be comfortable using AI thoughtfully for research, ideation, drafting, synthesis, and refinement, but only in service of sharper judgment and stronger writing.

Responsibilities

Research & Script Development

• Take approved video concepts, hooks, angles, transcripts, notes, or source material and turn them into complete outlines and then long-form YouTube scripts.
• Research each topic deeply enough to write with confidence, nuance, specificity, and credibility.
• Identify the core argument, tension, insight, practical takeaway, or emotional reason a viewer should care.

Voice & YouTube Storytelling

• Write in a voice that increasingly matches Sandeep’s tone, rhythm, point of view, vocabulary, and level of nuance.
• Structure scripts with strong openings, clear stakes, curiosity, pacing, progression, examples, and satisfying payoffs.
• Make abstract or intellectual ideas feel concrete, visual, emotionally relevant, and easy to follow.

Script Quality & Revision

• Produce complete, performable scripts rather than loose outlines, beat sheets, or talking points.
• Revise quickly and thoughtfully based on feedback from Sandeep and the Creative Director.
• Use AI-assisted tools where they improve research, ideation, drafting, synthesis, or refinement, while maintaining original judgment, voice discipline, and factual care.

Creative Collaboration

• Work closely with the Creative Director to align each script with the title, thumbnail, hook, audience promise, and overall video angle.
• Ask smart clarifying questions early so drafts do not create avoidable rewrites later.
• Build trust over time by absorbing feedback and applying it across future scripts.

What Success Looks Like

• Approved concept directions are translated into fully fleshed out outlines with clear hooks, strong progression, sharp examples, emotional stakes, and satisfying payoffs.
• Scripts are complete, performable, and usable as actual episode scripts.
• Sandeep and the Creative Director spend less time correcting tone, structure, word choice, or subject-matter framing.
• Scripts feel deeply researched without becoming academic, bloated, or hard to watch.
• The channel develops a more consistent written voice and repeatable script standard.

Requirements

• Strong writing experience in scripted explainers, essays, newsletters, podcasts, education, technology, business, or thought-leadership content.
• Proven ability to create outlines, talking points, and research summaries…and then translate into complete long-form scripts.
• Strong research ability and comfort learning complex subject matter quickly.
• Ability to write in someone else’s voice with precision, restraint, and consistency.
• Understanding of YouTube structure, hooks, pacing, retention, emotional stakes, and audience psychology.
• Genuine interest in AI, learning, entrepreneurship, productivity, personal growth, modern work, and idea-driven content.
• Demonstrated usage of AI tools intelligently to improve research, drafting, synthesis, and revision without outsourcing judgment or voice.
