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 robust 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 fast. 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 media storytelling - A sharp sense of punches, timing, pacing and payoff - Ability to write concise, engaging and natural dialogue - Ability to develop stories and ideas that work within 15–60 seconds - Strong command of conversational English/Hinglish - Ability to write across different tones and formats - Comfort with feedback, rewrites and collaborative writing - A portfolio that demonstrates strong short-form writing Bonus points if you - Have written comedy for Reels, Shorts or digital creators - Have written sketches, branded content or social campaigns - Have experience writing for actors and performers - Understand visual storytelling and physical comedy - Regularly consume and analyse short-form content - Can generate multiple creative ideas from a single brief - Know how to make a brand requirement feel like part of the story rather than an interruption Who should apply?

If you think short-form is just about writing a few funny lines, this probably isn't for you. If you understand that even a 30-second video can have a premise, character, conflict, escalation and payoff, we'd love to hear from you.

Experience: 1–4 years preferred, but exceptional writers with strong work samples are welcome to apply. To apply Please share your CV and 5–7 short-form scripts you have written. Published video links are preferred wherever available.
