Our culture: Guided by 10 company principles

Our formula for success: Customer obsession, innovative products, and talented teams.

Your role at Hostinger

We're looking for a YouTube Scriptwriters Team Lead who leads through storytelling, not syntax. Someone who can look at one video and see ten angles. Someone who optimizes for impact, not perfection. Someone who makes our writers better, our content sharper, and our team faster—all while keeping it fun and human.

You’ll lead a team of scriptwriters, shape our content strategy, and work across video production, SEO, locale channels, and analytics teams to create YouTube content that reaches millions and empowers them to build their online presence.

If you can build a content strategy that scales, coach writers to think like storytellers, and coordinate across teams without everything becoming a meeting? Even better.

• Native‑level English proficiency with strong storytelling instincts
• YouTube platform expertise (algorithm, optimization, analytics)
• Experience designing creative tests and translating data into strategy
• AI literacy—knows when AI helps and when it hurts
• Experience with OKR planning—you'll fully own script planning and execution
• Strategic mindset that connects content goals to business growth metrics
• Excellent stakeholder management—equally comfortable with video editors and executive presentations
• Thrives in fast‑paced environments and sees failed experiments as learning opportunities
