About PhoneBuff

PhoneBuff is a leading tech media brand and YouTube channel known for combining lab-tested, data-driven reviews with high-performance storytelling that reaches millions of viewers.

From smartphones and laptops to drop tests and robotic camera comparisons, we break down technology the way people actually use it.

Our videos set the standard for speed tests, battery battles, and automated testing. Now, we’re expanding into new categories and deeper storytelling formats. That’s where you come in.

What You’ll Do

We’re looking for a writer who loves technology and knows how to turn insights and test data into stories people actually want to watch.

Your responsibilities will include :

Writing scripted content for YouTube (6–20 min), Shorts (30–90 sec), and other social cutdowns

Collaborating with the host, editor, and researcher to transform lab data into engaging narratives

Writing with clarity and confidence, making complex ideas simple and watchable

Developing hooks, titles, transitions, and video frameworks that keep audiences engaged

Fact-checking, researching, and comparing products to industry benchmarks

Writing both organic and sponsored content that feels authentic to our audience

Storyboarding and pitching ideas that fit our testing frameworks

Supporting content beyond smartphones (e.g. laptops, desktops, wearables)

Occasionally attending launches or tech events when needed

Who You Are

You’re not just a writer. You’re a tech enthusiast who can think critically, write clearly, and tell great stories. You understand that a great script isn’t just accurate, it’s interesting.

You should be :

A strong writer who can script for both long-form and short-form video

Deeply interested in consumer tech (especially computers, laptops, GPUs, and peripherals)

Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable working without constant direction

A team player who thrives in creative collaboration

Skilled at turning lab results, impressions, and visuals into story-driven scripts
