About Story
We're a San Francisco creative studio working with the most ambitious technology teams on the planet — the founders and engineers building the future before anyone else can see it. We capture their vision and their breakthroughs and make the world understand why their work matters, through brand films, product videos, documentary, animation, event coverage and content & communication strategy.
We're not here to be another video shop. We're building the defining agency for deep tech and science — Ogilvy-scale ambition, reimagined for the people inventing the future — and we're growing fast and growing well beyond video.
The Role
We're hiring a Comms & Strategy Writer to shape how Story sounds — for our clients and for ourselves. You'll write scripts, narratives, decks, social copy, and brand messaging that turn technical breakthroughs into stories people actually care about. You'll work across client accounts and Story's own brand and original series, translating a founder's vision or a filmmaker's cut into words that land.
What You'll Do
- Write scripts, taglines, narrative frameworks, and messaging for client brand films and product videos.
- Draft and edit proposal copy, pitch decks, and creative concepts alongside the Client Strategy team.
- Own social copy and content for Story's own channels and original series (S3, Idea Factory, Masters of Movies).
- Turn raw interview transcripts and footage notes into tight, story-driven narrative structures.
- Partner with directors and producers to make sure every project has a clear point of view before cameras roll.
- Maintain a consistent voice across every piece of writing that leaves the building.
What We're Looking For
- 1–3+ years writing professionally — journalism, content marketing, agency copywriting, or comms.
- Sharp, economical writing. You cut filler and find the sentence that actually does the work.
- A story instinct — you can find the narrative inside a wall of technical jargon.
- Comfort writing in someone else's voice (a client's, a founder's, Story's) without losing clarity.
- Strong organizational habits; you can juggle multiple scripts and deadlines at once.
- Genuine curiosity about deep tech, science, and the people building it.
Nice to Have
- Experience writing for video or documentary specifically.
- Background at a creative agency, media company, or startup marketing team.
Details & Compensation
- Engagement: Full-time
- Location: On-site, San Francisco
- Compensation: approximately $75,000–$95,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
