About The Position

We are one of the leading tech-driven media and entertainment companies, producing uplifting content in 17 languages for audiences of all ages. Known for the award-winning digital publisher boredpanda.com and the Crafty Panda DIY channel, we fight the world’s boredom at scale - reaching 160 million site views per month and 62 billion video views per year. Our team consists of around 350 creative professionals from 36 countries, with 2 offices in Vilnius, Lithuania.
We’re looking for a YouTube Content Lead to take ownership of the creative direction of our Mr. Bricks channel, with a strong, hands-on focus on scriptwriting. This is not a purely strategic role. You will personally write high-retention scripts, shape video narratives, and lead content decisions that drive growth, engagement, and watch time. If you live and breathe YouTube, think in hooks and pacing, and know how to turn trends into binge-worthy, production-ready scripts - this role is for you.

Requirements

• Proven experience writing successful YouTube scripts or content for viral-driven platforms
• Deep understanding of YouTube retention mechanics, audience behavior, and platform best practices
• Strong storytelling skills with excellent comedic timing, structure, and pacing
• Ability to turn ideas, trends, and insights into clear, engaging, and actionable scripts
• Solid understanding of video production realities (visuals, timing, feasibility)
• Confidence working independently and making creative decisions end-to-end
• A proactive, detail-oriented, and reliable working style
• Advanced English writing and communication skills
• Passion for internet culture, trends, and playful, imaginative content (LEGO/content for younger audiences is a big plus)

Responsibilities

• Write high-retention, production-ready YouTube scripts (including voice-over), with strong hooks, pacing, structure, and humor
• Take full ownership of script quality, ensuring clarity, entertainment value, and minimal revisions
• Define and develop video concepts, formats, and storytelling approaches together with the scriptwriters team
• Translate trends, cultural insights, and performance data into strong script ideas and clear creative briefs
• Work closely with Creators, Crafters, and Post-Production to ensure scripts are filmable, efficient, and optimized for shooting
• Analyze audience behavior and performance metrics to continuously improve scripts and content direction
• Provide clear, constructive feedback that raises creative quality and supports fast iteration
• Lead by example with a hands-on, quality-driven mindset, balancing creativity with execution

Benefits

• We’ll support your start: you’ll be fully onboarded and guided by the current Lead to ensure a smooth transition
• We'll foster your growth: get encouraged to train your extra skills, talents or passion and apply them at work
• We'll cover your health: private health and accident insurance will be at your service after the first 3 months with us
• We'll celebrate your success: bonuses for weddings, childbirths, referred friends, and more
• We'll give you memories: immerse yourself in themed parties, team buildings, and other events
