Job Description

Overview

Are you obsessed about making YouTube content? Do you love storytelling, wild ideas, and creating videos that millions of people around the world actually watch? Do you want a job where you’re not stuck behind a desk all day, but instead writing bringing your YouTube storyline ideas to life???

Alright… Spy Ninjas might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Imagine this: You’re in a writer’s room with a team of laugh-out-loud funny creatives pitching ideas, breaking serialized stories of spy missions, battle royale fight scenes, and moments of comedic gold. Then you’re on set directing that same legendary script. Then you’re in the edit, shaping it into something fast, funny, and impossible to click away from. Not a bad way to spend your work day, right?

We’re a tight, in-house creative team that genuinely enjoys working together. We improv, experiment, pitch ideas, laugh a lot, eat snacks and constantly challenge each other to make better videos. It’s fast-paced, collaborative, and yes, really fun!!

We’re looking for a YouTube-obsessed Creative (Editor / Writer / Director) who wants to help us create videos people can’t stop watching, and have a great time doing it.

Ideally, you’re a strong YouTube editor who can level up into writing and directing. But if you already bring those skills to the table? Even better.

Responsibilities

• Come up with video ideas that people will actually click on and watch all the way through
• Write scripts that are fast-paced, engaging, and built for retention
• Direct shoots with actors and creators, keeping energy high and content focused
• Film using YouTube-style techniques that keep things dynamic and watchable
• Edit in Adobe Premiere with strong pacing, humor, and storytelling instincts
• Create thumbnails in Photoshop that stand out and drive clicks
• Handle post-production: color, sound, and final delivery
• Collaborate daily with a team that is constantly testing and improving content
• Stay on top of YouTube trends, formats, and what’s working right now

Requirements

• You are genuinely YouTube obsessed (we mean it)
• You watch YouTube differently than most people, you study it
• 3–5 years of experience in video production/editing
• Strong skills in Adobe Premiere (Photoshop is a plus)
• Ability to take an idea from concept to final video
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
• Strong creative instincts and problem-solving ability

Preferred

• Experience creating or editing YouTube content
• Understanding of retention, pacing, and audience behavior
• Experience directing or working with talent
• Interest in storytelling, especially ongoing or serialized content
• A portfolio that shows your YouTube work
