We’re looking for an experienced Short-Form Drama Writer to join us on an initial project basis and help build a new AI-assisted approach to developing serialized mobile drama.

The core of the role is hands-on: developing and improving short-drama concepts and scripts, working with AI writing tools, and using real audience and acquisition signals to make stories stronger.

We’re open to different levels of seniority. You may be a strong individual contributor with deep short-drama production experience, or a Lead / Head Writer who can also help us design the wider writing workflow and eventually build the function.

This is initially a project-based engagement, with the possibility of transitioning into a full-time role as the function develops and if there is a strong mutual fit.

Responsibilities

You’ll help us build and refine an AI-assisted script development pipeline for short-form drama.

Depending on your background, this could range from working directly with scripts and AI writing tools to helping us design the broader writing operation: how ideas are developed, how writers are briefed, how scripts are reviewed and iterated, and how audience and paid acquisition insights feed back into storytelling.

• The goal is to create a process where creative performance data continuously improves both the stories we produce and the AI tools supporting the writing process.
• Develop, review, and improve short-form serialized drama scripts.
• Work hands-on with AI writing tools to generate, develop, and iterate story ideas and scripts.
• Review AI-generated content and provide structured creative feedback to improve both script quality and the tools themselves.
• Use audience and paid acquisition insights to understand what is working, identify patterns, and apply those learnings to future scripts and story development.
• Help define a repeatable script development process, from concept and first draft through review, iteration, and production handoff.
• Bring practical production experience into the writing process and help ensure scripts are realistic, scalable, and suitable for short-form production.
• Explore how AI can meaningfully improve the script development workflow without compromising creative quality.
• Work closely with creative, production, and user acquisition teams.
• Strong professional experience writing or developing short-form serialized drama.
• Experience working within a short-drama streaming platform, production studio, or a studio producing content for short-drama platforms.
• Strong understanding of mobile-first storytelling, including hooks, pacing, emotional escalation, cliffhangers, and episodic structure.
• Close familiarity with the production process, even if your primary role has been as an individual contributor.
• Experience working in high-volume content environments and iterating quickly.
• Understanding of key content and performance metrics, and how writing decisions — such as hooks, pacing, story structure, characters, and cliffhangers — can influence audience behaviour and content performance.
• Comfort looking at performance data and using it to inform creative decisions. You don’t need to be a performance marketer, but you should understand how your creative work can influence performance.
• Experience collaborating with production, creative, and/or user acquisition teams.
• Curiosity about AI-assisted content production and a willingness to rethink traditional writing workflows.
• Experience managing writers, working with outsourced or freelance writing teams, building editorial processes, or connecting paid acquisition performance with the development of the series itself is a strong advantage - but it is not required for every candidate we’d like to meet.
