This is a senior, leadership-level role weighted as much toward training as toward the page. Our scripts run 300 to 600 words, narrated at 60 to 180 seconds, written for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. You will write at the top of our quality bar, design and maintain the systems that keep our voice consistent across writers, and bring junior and mid-level writers up the curve fast. The training piece carries more weight than the writing piece. We hire individual contributors separately.\nWhat You'll Be Responsible For\nWriting original short-form first-person scripts at the top of our quality bar, on production cadence.\n\nBuilding and maintaining the systems that keep our voice consistent across writers, including hook frameworks, voice guides, narrative structures, and script SOPs.\n\nTraining writers from junior to mid or senior on a measurable timeline with clear development milestones.\n\nSetting editorial standards that hold across high-volume output, and reinforcing them inside daily script reviews.\n\nRunning feedback loops that develop the writer, not only the script.\n\nPartnering with editors, narrators, and channel leads on what's working, what isn't, and how to test.\n\nOwning the writers' development path from intake through performance review.\n\nParticipating in hiring and screening to keep raising the talent bar of the writers' room.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nExperience writing short-form first-person storytelling for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.\n\nDemonstrated experience training writers from junior to mid or senior, with named examples and clear development outcomes.\n\nTrack record building voice guides, hook frameworks, and SOPs at a previous company.\n\nProduction-volume experience writing this exact format, not occasional features.\n\nPortfolio of scripts that performed at scale, with view counts and engagement data attached.\n\nComfortable working in person every day at our New Brunswick, NJ office.\n\nWhat You Bring\nThis is a senior leadership role inside our writing operation. Candidates should bring a portfolio that demonstrates voice and quality at the top of the format, plus visible evidence of training systems built and writers whose growth you can speak to specifically. We care about how you give feedback, how you defend a script, and how you carry yourself in a high-output writing room where the bar moves up every quarter.\nSkills\nShort-form scriptwriting (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)\n\nFirst-person narrative storytelling\n\nHook design and narrative structure\n\nEditorial leadership\n\nWriter training and development\n\nVoice and style guide authorship\n\nProduction at scale\n\nPerformance analysis (views, retention, completion)","description_format":"text","description_chars":2818,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T06:48:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.287,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":154,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T12:09:33Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/plotpointe-lead-writer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/plotpointe-lead-writer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T12:09:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18651,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416172},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416172"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fplotpointe-lead-writer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fplotpointe-lead-writer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fplotpointe-lead-writer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/plotpointe-lead-writer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fplotpointe-lead-writer"}]}
