About the role
As an AI Scriptwriter on the Creative team, you have the opportunity to bring out-of-the box concepts to life through industry-leading AI. Picture this: you walk into the office, Blue Bottle coffee in hand, playlist of absolute bangers plasting, and settle in to conjure astronauts drinking coffee in space, giants trapezing through miniature towns, a woeful dracula trying to keep up with the Jones’ using nothing more than a few strokes of your keyboard and the hottest AI tools available.
We’ll rely on your skills writing screenplays and fine-tuning prompts to create commercial-quality video assets. You’ll be working directly with the Copy team for direct feedback, and have the opportunity to see how your assets perform within the Meta and TikTok algorithms to better inform your work — making this a highly visible role. You’ll be an excellent fit if you excel in storytelling, are able to translate an idea onto paper, enjoy iterating, and love experimenting with AI.
