Job description

StudioBinder is looking for a Copywriter to join our Content & Editorial team.

StudioBinder builds production management software used by filmmakers, agencies, brands, and creative teams to plan and collaborate on productions. Alongside the platform, we run one of the largest educational resources in the production industry. Our blog reaches 1M+ readers each month, and our YouTube channel has 2M+ subscribers.

If you enjoy writing about filmmaking, breaking down creative techniques, and helping great ideas reach a wider audience, we’d love to hear from you. Visit our Careers page to learn more about our culture, benefits, and what a typical day looks like.

What You’ll Do

A typical day might begin by reviewing outlines for upcoming articles and getting familiar with the topic you’ll be writing about. From there, you dive into research—exploring films, interviews, industry resources, and related articles to build a strong understanding of the subject.

Once the research takes shape, you begin drafting the article—developing examples, structuring sections, and refining the narrative so the ideas are clear and engaging. Along the way, you may add supporting visuals such as embedded videos, diagrams, or concepts for infographics that help explain the ideas more clearly.

When the draft is ready, you send it to the editor for review. Sometimes feedback leads to revisions and refinements; other times the piece is ready to move forward and you shift your focus to the next article.

Some days are spent deep in research, others in writing and refining ideas. The goal is always the same: create thoughtful articles that help filmmakers better understand the craft.

A Typical Day

A typical day might start by reviewing notes or feedback on a draft you’ve been developing. From there, you may spend time researching a filmmaking concept, outlining a new article, or refining a section of a piece to make the ideas clearer and more engaging.

Much of the day is spent writing—developing examples, analyzing scenes, or explaining creative techniques in a way that helps readers understand how filmmakers think and work.

At times you might collaborate with editors to refine an article’s structure, adjust headlines, or polish sections for clarity. You may also review how published articles are performing and identify opportunities to expand or improve them.

Some days are spent deep in research and writing, others in revision and refinement. The goal is always the same: create thoughtful, well‑crafted articles that help creators improve their craft.

What We’re Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

Have strong writing and storytelling skills

Are deeply interested in filmmaking, storytelling, or video production

Enjoy researching creative topics and explaining them clearly

Can structure long‑form articles that are engaging and easy to follow

Are comfortable collaborating with editors and receiving feedback

Take ownership of your work and care about producing thoughtful content

Experience writing long‑form editorial content or educational articles is strongly preferred.
