SPY NINJAS is hiring: YouTube Creative in Las Vegas

YouTube-Obsessed Creative (Editor / Writer / Director)

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.
