  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams and your Art Director counterpart to drive new business opportunities and pitch winning ideas
  • Bring big brand-level thinking to a team already strong in activations and executional work
  • Elevate the overall creative output of the team, laying the groundwork for future expansion

Who You Are

  • strategic, clear, and curious thinker who brings brand-level depth to every brief — simplifying complex challenges into powerful, human stories (Brains)
  • An empathetic collaborator who builds trust with teams and clients, ensuring the work resonates on a genuinely human level (Heart)
  • bold, adaptable creator who champions brave ideas, writes with emotional range, and is never content with just one note (Courage)
  • A passionate specialist in TV and film who is super excited about the craft of writing for the screen — comedy, drama, and everything in between

What You'll Need

  • Extensive experience in copywriting and creative leadership with a specialized focus on TV, film, and video production
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional scriptwriting, emotional range beyond comedy, and true campaign-level brand building
  • Proven experience pitching and winning new business
  • Ability to thrive as a hands-on doer in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
