About the Role

Our client is looking for a Narrative Writer with strong social concepting instincts and a natural feel for culture to help shape voice and storytelling across their social presence. This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on scripting, moving fluidly between short-form social copy and longer narrative pieces.

The ideal person has a background that spans editorial, brand, and narrative work, ideally with byproduct experience writing for major publications alongside brand-side narrative or creative strategy work. They know how to identify a cultural moment, translate it into a strong point of view, and write copy and scripts that feel native to whatever platform they're built for. Experience amplifying untold stories or bringing a distinct point of view to brand storytelling is a plus.

What You'll Do

• Concept and write across short and long-form social content, from quick-turn copy to fuller scripts and narrative pieces
• Translate cultural moments and trends into original, on-brand ideas
• Partner with creative and strategy teams to shape voice, tone, and storytelling direction across platforms
• Write and edit scripts for video and social-first content
• Bring a strong editorial eye and point of view to every piece, ensuring the work feels culturally sharp and relevant
• Move easily between platforms, adjusting tone and format as needed
• Work efficiently under fast turn timelines without losing quality or voice

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience across editorial, brand, or narrative writing, ideally with bylines at recognized publications or experience writing for major brands
• A portfolio reflecting strong social concepting and strategic thinking, not just execution (Must apply with a portfolio) 
• Deep culture and content fluency, with a clear sense of what resonates and why
• Strong short and long form writing and scripting skills
• Experience working across social platforms, with an understanding of how tone and format shift by channel
• Comfort with Figma and Google Slides for deck and concept presentations
• Flexibility and resilience under fast, high pressure timelines
• A genuine point of view, especially around telling stories that don't always get told
