Job Description

Interviewer Opportunity — Life Story Magic Updated 6/23/26: Due to strong response, we are currently prioritizing applicants with native or near-native fluency in languages other than English. Exceptional English-only candidates are still welcome to apply but should be aware that multilingual applicants will be given priority.
At Life Story Magic , we capture your loved ones' stories and turn them into treasured history. We do video interviews with parents, grandparents (aunts, uncles, friends — really anyone who matters) — delivering professional recordings, transcripts, and other add-ons.
We're growing and adding to our team of contract interviewers. These are remote, contract positions open to candidates anywhere in the world. What the work involves

• Conducting 60-120 minute video interviews with customers about their life stories
• Light preparation beforehand to familiarize yourself with the customer
• Brief wrap-up after each interview and administrative tasks
• Working within an established tech platform and process

What this isn't While journalists and writers often excel in this work, it's important to note that this is "writer-adjacent," as opposed to writing. It also doesn't involve pitching, editing, or producing a finished article. The product is the conversation itself, captured on video and in print (or at least, on screen). People who are naturally curious, genuinely comfortable on camera, and good at making strangers feel at ease tend to do well. People who prefer to work behind the scenes typically don't. Compensation These are remote contract positions that can be based anywhere in the world. Interviewers start at $40/hour, and our compensation structure goes as high as $60/hour based on experience with us and customer feedback. Who this might be a natural fit for

• Freelance nonfiction writers, producers, and interviewers looking for reliable supplemental income between assignments — no pitching, no revisions, no chasing invoices
• People with journalism, oral history, or podcast interview backgrounds
• Anyone who has spent years getting strangers to open up and always wondered if that skill was worth something
• Native fluency in additional languages besides English is an advantage. 

To apply Please complete our short application form . We'll ask about your background, your work, what draws you to this, and we'll ask you to submit a brief video introduction. If you haven't checked out Life Story Magic before applying, you might want to do that.
