About the Client
Our client runs a boutique social media organic content agency that manages the full short-form video production process — scripting, filming, and posting — for approximately 20 clients across industries like real estate, mortgage lending, law, and medical aesthetics. They specialize in evergreen, organic content (not trend-chasing) and work roughly a month ahead on their content calendar, giving them a structured, deadline-driven production rhythm.
Why does this role exist?
The founders currently handle every stage of the scripting process themselves — from researching what's working on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to writing and formatting full scripts for each client — and it has become the biggest bottleneck to growing the business. This role exists to take that research-to-script pipeline off their plate entirely, so they can focus on client growth and strategy instead of production. The right person will operate as a true scripting partner: someone who can independently spot what's performing, generate strong ideas, and execute polished, on-template scripts across multiple client accounts without needing to be walked through each one.

The Impact you’ll make


Content Research
  • Scrape and identify top-performing content on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube within specific client niches (e.g., real estate, loan officers, law, medical aesthetics)
  • Track patterns in what's driving engagement across those niches
  • Use findings to inform idea generation and script direction

Idea Generation
  • Generate content ideas tailored to each client's brand and audience
  • Base ideas on proven, high-performing content rather than trend-chasing
  • Bring proactive suggestions to the team without waiting to be prompted

Script Writing & Formatting
  • Write full short-form scripts (30–60 seconds) using the client's existing templates, including visual hooks, picture formatting, and inspiration links
  • Apply the established color-coding and formatting system consistently across every script
  • Deliver completed scripts at least 48 hours ahead of each film day

AI-Assisted Workflow & Tools
  • Use Claude and other existing frameworks to support and speed up the scripting process
  • Work fluidly across G Suite, MS 365, and native social platforms as part of daily production

Client & Process Support
  • Support client communications and keep clients updated throughout the content process
  • Help build out the scripting SOP as the role and process matures
  • Take on general administrative tasks and other delegated responsibilities as needed

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise


Required:
  • Strong, demonstrable understanding of what performs well on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube across multiple content niches
  • Proven experience writing structured short-form video scripts (30–60 seconds) that include visual hooks and formatting systems
  • Hands-on experience using Claude or similar AI tools for content research and script generation
  • Ability to research and reverse-engineer top-performing content into original scripts

    • Sharp eye for short-form content trends and what drives watch-through and engagement
    • Structured, template-driven script writing (hooks, pacing, formatting)
    • Comfortable working across G Suite, MS 365, and AI tools like Claude in a daily production workflow
    • Strong research skills — able to scan platforms and extract actionable patterns quickly
  • Soft Skills:
    • Meticulous attention to detail, especially around formatting and color-coding systems
    • Self-starter who generates ideas proactively rather than waiting for direction
    • Reliable under deadline pressure, especially the 48-hour delivery window

You should apply if...
  • You genuinely enjoy studying what makes content work — you're the type who can watch a handful of TikToks and immediately spot the pattern behind why they performed.
  • You take pride in clean, precise execution and don't need someone checking your formatting twice.
  • You're proactive by nature, comfortable bringing ideas to the table rather than waiting to be told what to do, and you thrive in a fast-moving, deadline-driven environment where consistency matters as much as creativity.
  • You're also excited by the idea of using AI tools like Claude as part of your everyday workflow, not intimidated by it.
