Job Description

We’re looking for a Conceptual Copywriter with deep video experience—someone who thinks in scenes and sequences, not just sentences. This role goes beyond writing words that happen to appear in a video; it requires writers who develop the concept itself, shape the narrative structure, and understand viscerally how copy lands when it’s watched and heard rather than read.

Project Type: Contract

Role: Copywriter

Rate: $60-$65 per hour

Location: Remote (CST or EST preferred)

The ideal candidate can take complex product details, financial topics, or brand messages and translate them into audio/visual storytelling that feels clear, natural, and effortless to a viewer. They write with an ear for pacing and a feel for visual rhythm, collaborate fluently with directors and editors, and move between voiceover, on-screen copy, and scene-level concepting with equal confidence.

Key Responsibilities

• Video Concept Development: Originate and develop video concepts from brief to script—building ideas that work on screen, hold attention across formats, and translate brand or product messaging into compelling visual storytelling.

• Scriptwriting: Write scripts across a range of video formats—brand films, social video, product explainers, campaign spots, and digital content—with precision in structure, pacing, and tone.

• Voiceover & On-Screen Copy: Craft voiceover copy that sounds natural when spoken and on-screen text that complements rather than competes with the visual—understanding how both elements work together in the viewer’s experience.

• Simplifying Complex Topics for Video: Distill complicated product features, financial concepts, or brand narratives into clear, engaging scripts that make the complex feel intuitive without oversimplifying.

• Narrative Structure & Pacing: Bring a strong command of narrative arc to every project—building sequences that create momentum, land key messages at the right moment, and hold a viewer from open to close.

• Director & Editor Collaboration: Partner closely with directors, editors, and creative leads throughout production—contributing meaningfully to how a concept evolves from script to screen and adapting copy in response to visual decisions.

• Brand Voice in Motion: Apply Capital One’s brand voice with consistency across video formats, ensuring the written and spoken word reinforces the brand’s character regardless of tone or subject matter.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of copywriting experience with a clear and primary focus on video—brand campaigns, social video, digital content, or broadcast—demonstrated through a portfolio of video-first work.

• Proven ability to develop original video concepts, not just execute scripts from existing ideas.

• Strong scriptwriting fundamentals: scene and sequence thinking, narrative structure, voiceover craft, and on-screen copy writing.

• Demonstrated ability to simplify complex or technical subject matter for a general audience in a video context—making it engaging without stripping out substance.

• A clear sense of pacing and visual rhythm; able to write copy that accounts for how an audience experiences time on screen.

• Collaborative working style with experience partnering directly with directors, editors, and creative directors through production.

• Strong brand voice instincts and the ability to maintain consistency across a wide range of video formats and tones.

• Portfolio must include video scripts or finished video work; candidates without video-specific samples will not be considered.
