Looking for a Sharp, Creative Scriptwriter & Music Curator
Worldwide
We are seeking a highly creative, sharp, and culturally aware short-form video writer who knows how to make people stop scrolling and dominate TikTok and Instagram Reels. Your sole responsibility is to watch fully edited video clips and inject them with high-energy hooks, perfect music timing, and viral metadata; no video editing skills are required for this role. We need a human brain with a sharp pen, a deep understanding of music, and an instinct for what goes viral, so if you rely on AI-generated fluff or ChatGPT, this job is not for you. You will closely analyze our final visuals to craft sharp, attention-grabbing on-screen hooks within the first two seconds, while simultaneously curating trending or high-impact songs with precise timestamp and lyric recommendations that perfectly sync with the visual beats. Additionally, you will write high-retention captions and select targeted, niche-specific hashtags optimized for social media algorithms to maximize our organic reach, though we still encourage you to apply if you are a genius at hooks and music but still mastering algorithm mechanics. To apply, please start your proposal with the word "SHARP", briefly explain your process for matching music lyrics to visual cues, and share 2–3 examples of short-form videos you have previously strategized or written.
