About the Job

We're looking for an energetic, creative and focused AI Native Video Script Writer who is passionate about storytelling and genuinely cares about video. You'll join our first in-house video pod in Tulsa, working alongside a video lead and a video producer.

You'll turn research, expert calls and hands-on product tests into scripts and shot-by-shot storyboards before anyone films. That includes paid ads, organic social content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Reddit, and short lifecycle videos for email, retargeting and onsite. A locked script and storyboard make the shoot faster, cut down on reshoots, and give our editors a clear target. Ideas and scripting are the most valuable skills on this team, so you'll spend most of your time pitching, writing and sharpening. You'll also write companion articles that turn the same research into written content.

The pod also needs an on-camera face for the category. Could that be you?
