Impact: contributing to transform people lives at scale and feel your own impact in the company
And you deserve it because:

You've got an insatiable appetite for psychology, leadership, and neuroscience, and a knack for turning these complex topics into captivating, easy-to-understand content.

You also happen to want to use your experience as an awesome Video Scriptwriter to contribute to impacting the lives of thousands of people?
Then this job might be for you!
This is a full-time position, carried out from our beautiful offices in our offices in Dubai, Lisbon (2024), or from the comfort of your couch anywhere you’re located. Bilingual French and English fluency is required.
But maybe YOU WONDER WHAT’S OUR STORY ?
-
At Paradox, we are convinced that people do not want “just a job” anymore.
We are all craving to have an impact through our professional journey. Some want to start their own venture, some want to become an intrapreneur in their current organization, some others just want their day-to-day tasks to have more meaning.
PARADOX HAS ONE GOAL: TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS TO LIVE THEIR TRUE AMBITIONS.
But where do we start?
If you have an interest in personal development, you probably already know that:
Making things happen is a real struggle when you don’t know what truly inspires you and how to get there ;
Available resources are either boring or full of crazy unsubstantiated theories .
It needs to change, and we’re here to make it happen!
️ OUR AMBITION IS TO MAKE SUCCESS THE ONLY POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR OUR CLIENTS (WHATEVER SUCCESS MEANS FOR THEM), BY CRAFTING INNOVATIVE & CAPTIVATING BREAKTHROUGH EXPERIENCES.
In other words, we want to make personal growth as entertaining as watching Netflix.
How, you might be wondering?
We travel the world and surround ourselves with top entrepreneurs (Richard Branson - Founder of Virgin, Marc Simoncini - Founder of Meeting, Fred Mazzella - Founder of BlablaCar), world athletes (Frederick Bousquet - World record in 50m free swimming, Frank Leboeuf - WorldCup Footballer), and artists (Gad Elmaleh - Comedian, Barry Osborne - Producer of Lord of the Rings and Matrix) ;
We reverse engineer their strategies for achieving success and lean on the latest researches about neuroscience ;
We deliver trainings & educational contents around Power Skills (critical thinking, productivity, leadership, public speaking, coaching, stress management, etc.), self-growth and performance, through a balanced set of e-learning programs, events and edutainment videos .
From one well-known Founder to a team of +80 people today (and counting!), this approach has paid off and enabled us to exceed 2 million followers on social networks, and to have thousands of people attending our online events and training courses.
And here are the vessels we embarked on to complete our mission:
Effective Coaching Institute
Business Tribe
David Laroche
TOGETHER, WE ARE DRIVEN BY ONE DREAM:
Helping 100 000 people achieve their dream and display their pictures on what we call the “100 000 dreams wall” ;
Giving our clients access to constant personal growth by reinventing their learning experience ;
Have Will Smith and Richard Branson in our next documentary.
And that’s where you come in.
YOUR MISSION
-
Your epic quest is to trail-blaze in the creation of brain-tickling and enlightening video content in the realms of psychology and neuroscience. Content so gripping, it could rival the intrigue of a Netflix documentary!
Here's your roadmap with 5 exciting milestones:
1- MASTER OF SCRIPTS
You'll weave video scripts that educate, captivate, and entertain, setting your sights on a cool million views per video.
You'll produce a snappy, mind-boggling 10-minute video every month, and a deep-dive 20-minute (or longer) video every quarter.
You'll pen a documentary-style narrative that's rich in facts and sizzling with intrigue, giving Hollywood a run for its money.
2- CHAMPION OF CONTENT
You'll be the torchbearer for creating authoritative content in psychology and neuroscience, transforming our channel into a beacon in these fields.
You'll collaborate with our band of researchers, ensuring every nugget of information we share is scientifically robust and mind-bogglingly intriguing.
You'll steer the ship for our long-format video production, keeping a keen eye on maintaining stellar quality.
3- WIZARD OF VIRAL VIDEOS
You'll conjure up scripts for deep-dive YouTube videos, with an ambitious aim of crossing the 500k views milestone.
You'll craft a compelling central message for each video that resonates with viewers and lights a fire under them to share it far and wide.
You'll cook up suspense, dish out conflict, and tie it all up with a clear resolution to keep viewers locked in.
4- YOUTUBE DATA GURU
You'll dive into the YouTube data ocean, hunting for insights on viewer behaviour to supercharge watch time and shares.
You'll pinpoint the exact moments in our videos when viewers tend to drift away and formulate strategies to keep them hooked.
You'll run tests on different CTAs to dial up viewer engagement at the end of videos.
5- SCHOLAR OF BEST PRACTICES
You'll document winning strategies that lead to viral content and work towards systemizing our content creation process.
You'll be a pillar in the establishment of the Paradox Storytelling Academy, shaping the minds of future writers and expanding our content universe.

Experience
You've got years of hands-on experience in the film or television industry or a shiny track record of generating hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube

Personality
GO-GETTER: You're ambitious and proactive, taking ownership and getting things done.
THINKER: You're analytical, able to identify what makes a script great or what needs to be changed.
LEARNER: You're open to feedback, always looking for ways to improve, and putting personal growth first.

IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU
-
You don’t like to be challenged and grow in your job
You don't like receiving or giving tough feedbacks
You don’t usually try to improve the processes in place: if they are here, there is a reason
You like to have very specific tasks assigned to you that won’t evolve in the course of a year
You like to be told what to do or how to do something on a daily basis
None of the following reflects your personal interests: personal development / coaching / professional growth / education / edtech / teaching / edutainment / impact startups
Your only driver is joining a full-remote company: yes, our company culture is cool, but we want people to care about our mission, products, and their job!
