Financial Scriptwriter

<strong>About Future Finance<br><br></strong>A capital-intelligence media brand - newsletter, LinkedIn, X and YouTube. Future Finance doesn't sell directly; it builds reach and credibility, then hands qualified demand to the rest of the group.<br><br>The audience is US-based, 45-plus, net worth above $1M. They understand macro but don't know how to act on it - intelligent, busy, and sold to constantly.<br><br>The brand register is calm, premium and institutional. It never slides into wealth-guru, outrage or doom media, because the audience we want won't trust that tone. This matters more than anything else in this hire.<br><br>The role<br><br>You write Future Finance's long-form YouTube scripts - 30 to 35 minutes, roughly 4,200 words, one per week - and own the research behind every claim in them, so every claim traces to a primary document. You also cut 3-4 short-form scripts from each episode for distribution.<br><br>You do not pick topics and you do not own packaging (titles, thumbnails). That stays with the showrunner and the production agency. You do not name the channel's proprietary frameworks - those come from Salim. You may write about a mechanism he's already explained; you won't invent one and hand it to him to defend on camera.<br><br>What success looks like<br><br><ul><li>One publish-ready script a week, minimum - four a month, delivered as a full package: research memo, six-beat hook, body, retention map, SHOW/SOURCE tags inline, self-scored review sheet</li><li>Clears the review gate at 7 of 9 or better on first submission, scored against the Future Finance Content Standard</li><li>Zero unsourced factual claims - every claim carries a SOURCE tag to a primary document, both sides of contested arguments get argued, and thin research gets flagged, never filled in with a plausible number</li><li>Retention targets on the finished episode - 70%+ first-minute retention, average view duration above the channel baseline</li><li>Compliance held on every script - no predictions, no recommendations, no certainty language about what happens next</li><li>Weekly execution - memo submitted ahead of packaging, attendance at the weekly review, Slack availability during working hours, deadline risk flagged the day it's known<br><br></li></ul><strong>Requirements<br><br></strong>What we're looking for<br><br><ul><li>Sourcing discipline. You open the primary document, not the article about it, and can defend any claim in your own work on the spot</li><li>Finance literacy. You can read a 10-K, a central bank statement or a BIS paper and come out with an argument</li><li>Register control. You can raise a script's emotional voltage without reaching for wealth-guru or doom tools, and rewrite a hyped paragraph down without losing the stakes</li><li>Retention craft. You design open loops, pattern interrupts and a climax on purpose - and can draw the retention map because you built it that way</li><li>Writing for the ear. Scripted for a teleprompter: one idea per sentence, every term defined at first use, read aloud before submission</li><li>Comfort working inside someone else's frame. You flag a hole in the argument and stop - you don't hedge around it or quietly strengthen a claim the host can't defend</li><li>Proactivity, attention to detail, high standards, curiosity about macro and digital assets, and integrity about what you have and haven't checked<br><br></li></ul><strong>What You'll Need To Show Us<br><br></strong>To reach an interview, you need to evidence all four of the following. We screen on evidence, not on our own read of the writing.<br><br><ul><li>Proven scale, in this category. Seven figures of cumulative views on finance, macro, investing or business long-form - or a verified 3x-plus outlier against a serious finance channel's trailing average. Must be 25-minute-plus long-form; short-form and 8-minute credits don't count. Retention data required (average view duration, first-minute retention - not view counts), shown live via YouTube Studio screenshare or confirmed by the channel owner. Screenshots alone, or channels you can't name, don't count</li><li>A high-value audience, not just a large one. What the channel sells, at what price, to whom - sponsor class and CPM are good proxies. Our viewer is 45-plus with $1M+ net worth</li><li>At least one sample in a calm, sourced, institutional register. If the whole portfolio is hype, get-rich or doom content, that's a disqualifier regardless of the numbers</li><li>Willingness to complete a paid work sample. One assigned title, five working days, $1,250 - paid whether or not we hire<br><br></li></ul>How we'll hire<br><br><ul><li>Stage 1 - Past work review and interview. We read the actual work - not a summary or a list of links - against the four requirements above. If all four are evidenced, you move forward regardless of our personal taste in the writing</li><li>Stage 2 - Paid trial script. One assigned title, the Content Standard, five working days. Paid $1,250, whether or not you're hired - that's told upfront. You deliver: a research memo (two pages max, every claim sourced to a primary document, both sides of any contested argument argued); the hook (six beats, 70 words or fewer); the full script with SHOW cues and SOURCE tags inline; a retention map</li><li>Stage 3 - Contract → conversion. Trial script, then a contract which includes a 3 month trial period at the monthly rate, converting to a permanent seat on day 90 against the outcomes above<br><br></li></ul><strong>Benefits<br><br></strong>What We Offer<br><br><ul><li>Competitive salary + performance-based incentives</li><li>Company offsites</li><li>Remote work</li><li>High ownership, high-impact role</li></ul>
