Content Writer - Freelance, Remote ✨

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 Your superpowers are...

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.
