The Opportunity

We're looking for a skilled Short-Form Scriptwriter to join our contractor team on a full-time basis. This is a scripting-first role built for someone who understands the nuance between organic and sponsored content and knows how to write for the scroll.

What You'd Do

Write organic and partnership content and short-form video scripts for 3–4 client accounts
Develop hooks, transitions, and CTAs optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Adapt scripts to each client's voice, tone, and content goals
Collaborate with our creative team to align scripts with broader content strategy
Deliver clean, brief-ready scripts that video editors can execute without back-and-forth

Nice to Have

Familiarity with content strategy and content pillar frameworks
Experience writing for creator-led or personal brand accounts
Comfort writing across niches (career, lifestyle, wellness, business)

What We're Looking For

Proven experience writing short-form video scripts, especially UGC-style content
Strong understanding of what makes content stop the scroll — hooks, pacing, structure
Ability to write in multiple voices and adapt quickly to new briefs
Self-sufficient: you read the brief, ask the right questions, and deliver
Reliable, communicative, and deadline-driven
