About Unserious

Unserious is a media company and marketing agency supporting creators, founders, and brands in building influential personal brands and digital platforms.

On the agency side, we work with full-time content creators, internet-native founders, and executives — ranging from multi-million-dollar CEOs to well-known online creators — producing high-quality, social-first content across YouTube, podcasts, and short-form platforms.

Our clients and collaborators have been featured in Forbes 30 Under 30, InStyle, Yahoo News, and Business Insider, among other major publications.

We’re building a small, highly capable team that values quality, speed, and clear systems over chaos.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a skilled Short-Form Scriptwriter to join our contractor team on a full-time basis. This is a scripting-first role built for someone who understands the nuance between organic and sponsored content and knows how to write for the scroll.

What You'd Do

  • Write organic and partnership content and short-form video scripts for 3–4 client accounts
  • Develop hooks, transitions, and CTAs optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
  • Adapt scripts to each client's voice, tone, and content goals
  • Collaborate with our creative team to align scripts with broader content strategy
  • Deliver clean, brief-ready scripts that video editors can execute without back-and-forth

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with content strategy and content pillar frameworks
  • Experience writing for creator-led or personal brand accounts
  • Comfort writing across niches (career, lifestyle, wellness, business)

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience writing short-form video scripts, especially UGC-style content
  • Strong understanding of what makes content stop the scroll — hooks, pacing, structure
  • Ability to write in multiple voices and adapt quickly to new briefs
  • Self-sufficient: you read the brief, ask the right questions, and deliver
  • Reliable, communicative, and deadline-driven

Compensation & Details

Hours: 40hrs/week

Engagement Type: Full-time contractor

Location: Remote (EST timezone preferred or compatible hours)

Rate: To be discussed based on experience

Payment: Monthly retainer, paid on the last business day of each month

We're building a team of self-starters who do their best work without hand-holding. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
