Creative Writer for AI Character Franchise (TikTok, Instagram & Storytelling)

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

We're building one of the first AI-native character franchises, and we're looking for a founding creative writer to help shape its future. Eli is an original animated turtle character with an audience of over 150,000 followers across social platforms. Our goal isn't simply to create viral videos—we're building a timeless character that audiences genuinely love, with ambitions that extend into publishing, consumer products, entertainment, and licensing. We're looking for an exceptional creative writer who understands how to create lovable characters, memorable moments, and emotionally engaging short-form content. This is not a traditional copywriting position. This is character development through short-form storytelling. You'll work directly with the founder to help shape Eli's personality, relationships, recurring jokes, and daily content. If you're excited by the idea of helping build the next great character franchise from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
