Content Strategist & Scriptwriter for Short-Form Video

We’re a UK-based creative marketing agency producing social-first content for brands across skincare, property, fitness, dentistry, and more. Our focus is on creating strategic, high-performing short-form video that drives real business results, not just looking great.

We’re on the lookout for someone who can fully own the pre-production side of our short-form content service. That means turning a client’s offer into a content machine, backed by research, insights, and high-impact scripting.

You’ll work closely with me, the founder, and become an essential part of the team as we continue to grow. I already lead a long-term team of editors, so you’ll be joining a trusted setup with proven processes and clear communication.

What You’ll Be Responsible For (Per Client, Monthly):

1. Market Understanding & Strategy

- Understand the client's brand, audience, and goals (info provided)
- Identify strong content angles that align with their objectives

2. Competitor & Trend Research

- Research 5–10 competitors or creators per niche
- Find best-performing short-form content across TikTok, IG Reels, and Shorts
- Extract insights on hooks, styles, video lengths, trends, and formats
- Justify why these insights apply to the client and how they’ll work

3. Scriptwriting & Content Planning

- Deliver 8–16 strong short-form video scripts per month, per client
- Use a mix of formats thats working well (talking head, UGC, storytelling, green screen, ad-style, voiceover)
- Include hook, structure, CTA, and format notes
- Write in a tone that matches the brand and keeps viewers watching

4. Reviewing & Building on Performance

- Review performance metrics from the previous month (we’ll supply these)
- Identify what’s working and what isn’t (hook, format, tone, visuals etc)
- Use this analysis to shape next month’s strategy and scripts
- Format these insights into a clean, client-facing doc

5. Presentation & Delivery

- Turn your strategy and scripts into clean, professional documents
- Use Google Docs, Canva, or similar tools to package insights and scripts clearly
- Keep things client-facing and easy for the production team to follow

Bonus (but not required):
- Good level of understanding of AI tools

- Experience using Notion, Canva, or basic creative tools

- Familiarity with ad copywriting or conversion-focused frameworks

- Agency experience or background working with fast-paced teams

- Understanding of both organic and paid content strategies

General VA & Admin Support (Occasional):
- You may also support with admin-related tasks where needed
- This could include content calendar formatting, simple outreach research, uploading content briefs into Notion, and other simple but valuable backend tasks

Structure & Growth:

This role will start project-by-project (one client at a time)
- If you're a great fit with work to match, it’ll evolve into a consistent full time role across multiple brands
- You’ll work directly with me (the founder) and collaborate with our video team
- This is a long-term opportunity, I’m looking to scale with the right person

Pay will be based on skill, speed, and experience, with bonuses and increases as we grow together

To Apply:
Send the following:

- A short intro about who you are

- A few ways you personally feel you’d be able to support me in my business (that are outside of the job description)

- Any relevant samples or examples of your scripting, strategy, or content research

- Include the word “walnut” somewhere in your application to show attention to detail

This role is for someone who wants more than just tasks. Someone who’s ready to take ownership, think strategically, and grow with a creative team that’s building something solid.

If that sounds like you, I’m keen to see what you’ve got!
