We’re looking for a
creative short-form writer
to work on a content project for a leading consumer brand.
The work will primarily involve comedy, sketches and relatable everyday situations, but we’re looking for someone with a strong overall understanding of writing and storytelling.
Someone who can write a funny sketch one day, an observational piece the next, and find an interesting way to tell a simple story in 30 seconds.
The ability to make people laugh is important.
But good writing comes first.
What you’ll be doing
Writing short-form scripts for Reels, Shorts and other social platforms
Developing comedy sketches, creative concepts and relatable situations
Finding interesting ways to tell stories within 15–60 seconds
Writing sharp setups, punches, callbacks and satisfying endings
Creating strong premises that hook the viewer quickly
Writing natural, conversational and performable dialogue
Exploring different tones, from comedy and observation to emotion, relatability and storytelling
Finding creative ways to integrate brand requirements without compromising the core idea
Collaborating with the creative and production team through ideation, writing and revisions
The kind of writer we’re looking for
You have a strong sense of comedy, but you’re not only a comedy writer.
You understand why a joke works, when a punch should land, how to build an escalation and how to end a scene.
You also understand character, conflict, emotion, observation and story.
You can take a simple situation and find the interesting angle.
You can make a viewer laugh, but you can also make them relate, feel something or simply think, “That is so true.”
And most importantly, you know how to tell a story quick.
Because when you only have 30 seconds, every line, beat and reaction has to earn its place.
Must have
Previous experience writing short-form video content
Strong overall writing and storytelling skills
Strong understanding of comedy, sketches and social medi
