Job Description for AV Scriptwriter at Superside - EMEA
At Superside, we're looking for an AV Scriptwriter who can take a video brief from the initial idea through to a production-ready script. Projects range from 15-second social and performance content to five-minute brand/explainer films, across motion graphics, live action, stock-led video, and UGC. You'll need to understand how words, visuals, pacing, and sound work together, and be confident writing dialogue, voiceover, and on-screen copy that reads naturally out loud.
What you’ll do
Concept and script AV content across formats, from short-form social cuts to longer branded films.
Given a brief, develop two or three distinct creative directions, each with a clear sense of how it would work as a video, supported by references and a potential title approach.
Take a chosen direction through to a strong, production-ready AV script, including dialogue, voiceover and on-screen copy.
Build a hook that works, structure a clear narrative, and shift naturally between different brands, audiences, tones and platforms.
Collaborate with Superside's creative teams to align scripts with visual direction and brand guidelines, and refine based on feedback.
What you’ll bring
Proven AV scriptwriting experience, ideally from an agency background, not primarily general copywriting.
A portfolio of AV concepts and scripts, rather than mainly websites, blogs or general marketing copy.
Excellent command of English and a strong sense of pacing, tone and structure in scriptwriting.
Strong collaboration skills and openness to iteration with creative directors, designers and producers.
Interest in or familiarity with AI tools for creative ideation or drafting is a plus.
