The posting

🚀 Why Headout?

We’re a rocketship: 9-figure revenue, record growth, and profitable

With $200M+ in revenue, guests in 700+ cities, and 18 months of profitability, Headout is the fastest-growing marketplace in the travel industry, and we’re just getting started. We've raised $60M+ from top-tier investors and are building a durable company for the long term — because that's what our mission needs and deserves. We’re growing, profitable and nowhere near done.

What we do is important

In an increasingly digital world, there is a desperate need to augment our human experience by getting us to interact with the real world around us and the people in it. At Headout, our mission is to be the easiest, fastest, and most delightful way to head out to a real-life experience — from immersive tours to museums to live events and everything in between.

Why now?

The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is even bigger. We’ve hit profitability, built momentum, and proven the model — but there’s so much more to build. If you’re looking to join a company where the trajectory is steep and your impact is real, this is the moment.

Our culture

Reinventing the travel industry isn't easy, but that's the fun part. We care deeply about ownership, craft, and impact, and we’re here to do the best work of our careers. We won’t pretend like it’s for everyone but if you’re a builder who loves solving tough problems, you’ll feel right at home.

The Role

We're looking for a Scriptwriter for our YouTube team, someone who thinks in stories, not just sentences. You'll research destinations, understand what viewers are searching for, and turn that intent into clear, engaging scripts across travel guides, ticket explainers, and short-form videos.

This is a search-first writing role where you'll own the process from research and hooks to scripting and performance-led refinement, creating useful, compelling videos that help people decide what to book and continue driving discovery long after publication.

This role is based in Bengaluru. We’re looking for candidates who are local or open to relocating.

What makes this role special?

  • Write for what people are searching for. Create travel content that answers real questions people have while planning a trip, with the potential to rank on YouTube search and drive views for months.
  • Learn the whole craft. Get hands-on experience across research, audience intent, hooks, scripting, and refinement, building an understanding of what makes a video work from start to finish.
  • See the impact of your writing. Understand how your scripts influence views, click-through rates (CTR), and audience retention, and use these insights to make each subsequent script stronger.
  • Work with a lean, high-context team. Build your editorial judgement in an environment where clarity, originality, and useful storytelling matter more than polish for its own sake.

What skills do you need?

  • Strong writing skills and an instinct for storytelling, with the ability to turn complex or scattered information into clear, engaging, and genuinely useful scripts.
  • Strong research instincts: the ability to dig into a topic quickly, identify reliable sources, fact-check details, and uncover useful information that generic guides might miss.
  • An ear for video storytelling: comfort writing tight, conversational, spoken-not-written scripts that hook viewers early and work naturally alongside visuals.
  • An understanding of audience intent, with the curiosity to figure out what viewers are trying to learn or decide and translate that into relevant, engaging content.
  • Ownership and attention to detail: the ability to manage multiple scripts on tight timelines, incorporate feedback, and care about a video's success beyond the first draft.
  • Comfort collaborating with AI tools to accelerate research and drafting while maintaining factual accuracy, originality, and editorial judgement.

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with YouTube, SEO, or how search-driven content ranks.
  • A sense for visual storytelling and how a script translates into an engaging video.
  • An interest in travel, destinations, and helping people make informed decisions about what to experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
