- Manage end-to-end script development and feedback loops, ensuring promos meet key business KPIs and storytelling benchmarks.
- Collaborate with Gen AI art teams and production leads to align visual storytelling with validated scripts.
- Run a dynamic and iterative writer’s room: brainstorm story ideas, escalate stakes, punch up copy, and ensure scripts are optimized for attention and retention.
- Partner closely with business to align on growth targets and creative strategy.
- Regularly present performance reports and learnings to key stakeholders, driving iteration and experimentation in storytelling.
- Help shape the narrative landscape across genres, using a mix of data insights, creative instincts, and consumer psychology.
- Continuously test, iterate, and scale high-performing creatives, with a laser focus on improving CPI, ROAS, and install intent across campaigns.
Qualifications:
- 7+ years of experience in creative production, performance marketing, or narrative content development, preferably in digital-first or mobile-first platforms.
- Proven leadership in managing creative teams and high-throughput storytelling pipelines.
- Deep understanding of marketing metrics such as CTR, Thruplay, Completion %, and how they tie back to content performance.
- A strong editorial sense and experience writing or editing direct-response scripts, trailers, or promos.
- Comfortable balancing creativity with performance and crafting stories that entertain and convert.
- Experience working with AI video tools or virtual production pipelines is a plus.
- Familiarity with A/B testing frameworks and creative optimization best practices.
- Able to operate cross-functionally and influence without authority in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Passion for long-form storytelling, genre fiction, and character-driven narratives.
- Having knowledge of the werewolf / web fiction space is a plus.
