Job Description

The Role

We're bringing on a scriptwriter on a freelance/contract basis to develop voiceovers, scripts, and creative treatments across our content and campaign work.

This is not a copywriting role. You're not writing taglines. You're building narrative architecture that a director can actually shoot.

What You'll Work On

VO scripts for short and long-form content — built from interview transcripts, raw material shaped into something cinematic

Scripts for commercial films, brand documentaries, and campaign spots

Creative treatments for shoots and campaigns

What We're Looking For

Experience writing for the screen, not just the page. You've worked on commercials, brand films, or documentary content — and you have the work to show it.

Specifically:

5+ years writing scripts for branded content, commercial films, or documentary

A portfolio that includes at least one brand film or documentary short — real work, not spec

Demonstrated ability to write VO that sounds like a human thinking, not a brand talking

Comfort working from raw interview transcripts — pulling the story out of what someone actually said

Understanding of visual storytelling — you think in shots, not sentences

Restraint. If you over-write, this isn't the right fit.

Strong signal: you've written for luxury, lifestyle, or culture brands. You understand the difference between earned language and manufactured aspiration.

What You Won't Be Doing

Writing copy that could belong to any brand

Delivering scripts heavy on product description

Producing motivational-poster VO

Writing dialogue that explains what we're supposed to feel

How We Work

Project-based. The director will brief you on each concept, give you reference material, and collaborate closely on drafts. Expect fast feedback cycles and high creative standards.

Compensation is per-project, commensurate with experience.

To Apply

Send your portfolio and a brief note on one piece of branded content — yours or someone else's — whose script you think is exceptional. Tell us why it works.
