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.
