About the role

Develop original creative territories and angles that push beyond what's already running and find new ways to make Ethos feel urgent and worth people's attention
Show up to UGC shoots and help bring concepts to life on the day — you're not just handing off a script, you're in the room making it better
Collaborate closely with the CD of Paid Social, video editors, and performance marketing to understand what's working and use those insights to inform what to write next
Use AI fluently as part of your concepting and writing process — generating ideas at volume, exploring new territories, and iterating fast without losing the quality filter

You think like a journalist with a beat — you know how to find the angle that makes something genuinely interesting and you're always scanning for it
Deep understanding of direct response and performance creative — you know the difference between a hook that stops the scroll and one that drives conversion, and you can write both
Experience at UGC or influencer shoots — you're comfortable on set and know how to adapt in the moment when the script needs to change
Fluent in AI tools for concepting, ideation, and writing — you use them to generate at scale and iterate fast, but your taste is the filter
Strong understanding of platform culture across TikTok, YouTube, and podcasts — you write for the channel, not just the brief

Collaborative and fast-moving — you work well with editors, directors, and performance teams and don't need a lot of hand-holding to deliver
