nWe’re looking for a creative short-form writer to work on a content project for a leading consumer

nbrand.

n

nThe work will primarily involve comedy, sketches and relatable everyday situations, but we’re

nlooking for someone with a strong overall understanding of writing and storytelling.

n

nSomeone who can write a funny sketch one day, an observational piece the next, and find an

ninteresting way to tell a simple story in 30 seconds.

n

nThe ability to make people laugh is important.

n

nBut good writing comes first.

n

nWhat you’ll be doing

n

n

n
- Writing short-form scripts for Reels, Shorts and other social platforms
n

n

n

n
- Developing comedy sketches, creative concepts and relatable situations
n

n

n

n
- Finding interesting ways to tell stories within 15–60 seconds
n

n

n

n
- Writing sharp setups, punches, callbacks and satisfying endings
n

n

n

n
- Creating strong premises that hook the viewer quickly
n

n

n

n
- Writing natural, conversational and performable dialogue
n

n

n

n
- Exploring different tones, from comedy and observation to emotion, relatability and storytelling
n

n

n

n
- Finding creative ways to integrate brand requirements without compromising the core idea
n

n

n

n
- Collaborating with the creative and production team through ideation, writing and revisions
n

n

nThe kind of writer we’re looking for

n

nYou have a strong sense of comedy, but you’re not only a comedy writer.

n

nYou understand why a joke works, when a punch should land, how to build an escalation and how to end a scene.

n

nYou also understand character, conflict, emotion, observation and story.

n

nYou can take a simple situation and find the interesting angle.

n

nYou can make a viewer laugh, but you can also make them relate, feel something or simply think,

n“That is so true.”

n

nAnd most importantly, you know how to tell a story fast.

n

nBecause when you only have 30 seconds, every line,



beat and reaction has to earn its place.

n

nMust have

n

n

n
- Previous experience writing short-form video content
n

n

n

n
- Strong overall writing and storytelling skills
n

n

n

n
- Strong understanding of comedy, sketches and social media storytelling
n

n

n

n
- A sharp sense of punches, timing, pacing and payoff
n

n

n

n
- Ability to write concise, engaging and natural dialogue
n

n

n

n
- Ability to develop stories and ideas that work within 15–60 seconds
n

n

n

n
- Strong command of conversational English/Hinglish
n

n

n

n
- Ability to write across different tones and formats
n

n

n

n
- Comfort with feedback, rewrites and cooperative writing
n

n

n

n
- A portfolio that demonstrates strong short-form writing
n

n

nBonus points if you

n

n

n

n

n

n

n
- Have written sketches, branded content or social campaigns
n

n

n

n
- Have experience writing for actors and performers
n

n

n

n
- Understand visual storytelling and physical comedy
n

n

n

n
- Regularly consume and analyse short-form content
n

n

n

n
- Can generate multiple creative ideas from a single brief
n

n

n

n
- Know how to make a brand requirement feel like part of the story rather than an interruption
n

n

nWho should apply?

n

nIf you think short-form is just about writing a few funny lines, this probably isn't for you.

n

nIf you understand that even a 30-second video can have a premise, character, conflict, escalation

nand payoff, we'd love to hear from you.

n

nExperience: 1–4 years preferred, but exceptional writers with strong work samples are welcome to

napply.
