Your role is to translate words into compelling imagery. Listen, it’s way more than that, but that’s the essence. Our company is bursting with personality, and we want you to translate that energy into a radical overhaul of our narrative presence.

We’re a writing company, so the bar is high. Writing visuals is a unique (and niche!) skill with a different mindset than text. You know how to make information aesthetic and infuse stories with a narrative pulse.

Come up with wonky approaches to integrating archival/stock footage so that it feels dynamic, playful, and uniquely Write of Passage

What You Won’t Be Doing

Constantly being interrupted by meetings; you’ll get in the zone and do deep creative work
Sticking to the tools and techniques you’ve always used; you’ll be forever expanding your creative arsenal
Being told exactly what to do and when to do it; you’ll flex your creative muscle daily

Creative Director Key Responsibilities

You’ll visualize scenes, then create the blueprint for communicating their vital essence.

Basic Requirements

At least 3 years of professional experience as a writer (screenwriter, script writer, copywriter, etc.)
Technical expertise with editing and production, either directing or producing
Experience working with remote, asynchronous communication and editing tools

Nice-to-have Requirements

Technical expertise and professional experience in any of the following:

Storyboarding
Design/Typography
