About the role

  • You will work closely with the internal podcast team to develop scripts for short-form narrative and interview-driven episodes.
  • Own scriptwriting for podcast episodes from story framing through final script delivery.
  • Structure episodes with strong narrative arcs, hooks, and transitions.
  • Translate research and expert insights into clear, engaging storytelling.
  • Write host narration, introductions, and closing reflections.
  • Research guests and develop interview frameworks and question guides.
  • Edit interview transcripts into cohesive narrative segments.
  • Collaborate with producers and editors to refine pacing, tone, and clarity.
  • Work cross-functionally with production, editorial, and social teams to ensure stories translate well across audio, video, and social formats.

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of scriptwriting experience, ideally creating short-form video or podcast content for media brands or digital platforms.
  • Strong story judgment and editing range — able to move from a promising question to a clear narrative structure, and from “interesting” to “compelling and useful.”
  • Excellent storytelling instincts, with a strong sense for which moments hook an audience, evoke insight or emotion, and drive engagement.
  • Enthusiasm for (and ideally familiarity with) the intersection of construction, technology, and the built world — with a genuine appetite for evidence-driven storytelling.
  • Strong understanding of social and video platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn, including emerging formats and audience behavior.
  • Ability to adapt tone and storytelling style for different audiences and show formats (e.g., explanatory, narrative, or interview-driven content).
  • A portfolio of work demonstrating experience writing or producing podcast, video, or narrative digital media content.
